<![CDATA[Past jayhawks]]>This theme has gotten a little boring for me. Lots of guys playing. Not many doing major things right now.

Braun is hurt.

Embiid is declining, although still pretty good.

Johnny F has played little.

Oubre started out well but been hurt for a month now.

Wilson's minutes are down.

Ochai's minutes are down. He's at career lows of 3.4 ppg. Sad, but he's still one my favs in a KU uni.

Hunter so far has 2 points in his NBA career.

McCullar has scored 9 points in his career.

Svi is scoring 9 a game. At least he's had a longish career in the league.

Wiggins is remarkably consistent and scoring 16.9 which he scored in his first year as well. He's no superstar, but is an NBA 'good' player. And he's making 28 million.

Grimes is also a decent player for Philly. Good for him. Wish he'd stuck around and showed us some of that.

Gradey Dick sadly is showing some signs of decline already. Seemed to be coming together for him last year, but his minutes are dropping.

The PGA Tour has suspended senior tour member Matt Gogel for six months for placing multiple golf bets in recent years, the league announced on Wednesday.

Gogel, who plays on the PGA Tour Champions, placed multiple bets on PGA Tour events in 2024 and 2025. It's unclear which tournaments he bet on or what the wagers were, but the Tour said they did not involve any events in which he was a participant. Betting on any PGA Tour event or any other professional golf competition is a clear violation of the Tour's integrity program.

No mention of Johnny Furphy that I could find. I think this goes under the radar when talking about Kelly:

Insert Oubre, who is one of just 32 players who has averaged over 11 points per game since 2017-18.

The Nets passed on an $8.77MM QO for swingman Ochai Agbaji, the former No. 14 overall pick, according to Scotto (Twitter link). Agbaji and forward Jalen Wilson, who wasn’t tendered a $3MM QO, will be headed to unrestricted free agency after playing reserve roles for Brooklyn to finish the season.

Nick Collison — “Best teammate I ever had.

When you talk about losing yourself in the team, he was the true definition of that. The best thing about Nick was that he never switched up.

A lot of guys would change throughout the course of the season. When the team was doing well but you weren’t doing well individually, you caught a lot of guys, including myself, with an attitude. That was never Nick. Whether he was getting 20 minutes or zero minutes, he never changed.

Always positive. Always hardworking. Always looking out for the betterment of the team.

And when he did hold you accountable, it wasn’t in an aggressive manner. It was just like: “Hey, man, we need you, but you’ve got to do better here. I’ve got your back 1,000 percent.”

“My bad, Nick, I’ve got you. I apologize.”

“No, no, no. No need to be sorry. We’re in this together.”

He would run through a wall for you. After I got traded to Oklahoma City in 2011, we matched up against the Lakers in the playoffs in 2012.

My points weren’t there in game five, but I think I had 13 or 14 rebounds. I remember after the game Nick said: “You won that damn game for us. Those rebounds didn’t go unnoticed. You played your f—ing ass off, boy. Proud of you.”

I was somewhat the leader of that squad with Nick, but right then he didn’t even know what that did for me. I was like: Dang, Nick just gave me props. That felt good coming from Nick.”

He’s still ballin! Good luck to Jayhawk great @JeffWithey in the @IBLindonesia Finals starting tomorrow! 🔥

Former jayhawk Kevin mccullar Jr

Sort of. He's on a 2 way deal which means he wasn't allowed to be in the active roster for the playoffs and only played 155 minutes all year. He's getting a ring more as a technicality more than anything.

Yeah but he still gets a ring though

They’ve built a good team around him. Now his body has to hold up. Which I doubt it will, but we’ll see. I watched a good part of the 3-3, next game decides series game against the Celtics. I figured they ought to be playing hard to win that one. I wasn’t disappointed. Great game. And Embiid played well.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 The NBA is such a bad and boring product to me I stopped checking on former Jayhawks. Nearly all of them were OAD's for us like all three on the 76ers, and I just don't care as much.

Goodness, look how much Joel Embiid makes. He's never won a championship. Crazy. Do these owners ever consider they could make their games more affordable by slashing these salaries? The Bulls are terrible and their games are out of reach. I haven't gone in years.

NBA owners can't really lower prices that much because teams have to spend at least 90% of the salary cap per the current CBA. If 76ers ownership slashed Embiid's salary, that money would have to be spent on other players instead.
