A team relying on DaJuan Harris for offense will do that.

Get Zeke Mayo and AJ Storr the ball and get the fuck outta the way.

Seems like something a really tall guy could resolve by being aggressive and drawing fouls.

I won't deny that he's a stat-filler. But he's reached his ceiling in basketball, so I hope he's made enough NIL money or has a backup plan after this season.

He'll be playing pro ball in Europe making money for years to come (but not as much as he is currently making at KU, which I understand is about $2M, otherwise he'd already be there). Bigs of his size that can space the floor will always have a spot.

Dickinson draws more fouls per 40 minutes than anyone on the team this year other than Flory.

Again, he's not the issue with anything offensively. He's really the only thing that has been keeping this team afloat offensively with as bad as everyone else around him has been shooting the ball.

Imagine him surrounded by 4 shooters? It would be beautiful.

Dickinson is not making 2 million

The rumor was 2/4M when he initially signed here. It has to be quite substantial to keep him from going pro in Europe regardless.

Self said they had a great week of practice and are getting healthy. Also said he expects to see the transfers start playing to their potential (usually takes newcomers roughly a semester to figure it all out).

Interested to see how they look today.

Mayo looking good

Team falls apart again without Dickinson on the court

This is just not a top seed type team. They will pull away and win this by alot but this team just isn't it.

As long as Harris and KJ get the minutes they do we simply cannot reach our ceiling.

Maybe we snag a 2 seed and make a FF. Definitely can happen its just a weaker team than preseason predictions the last couple of years.

Harris isn’t an issue

He and Harris play about 36ish minutes combined in the first half and we get 1-4 2 points 3 rebounds 4 assists. Out of two players. Unbelievably bad production for 2 players who will absolutely never be benched in the tournament.

He is, has been, and always will be.

There is a reason he didn't play the last 7 minutes in the 2022 National Championship.

Hes a very good player on his own but very limiting. Not really a guy you want to have the ball in his hands at the end of the shot clock. Cant get fouled. Cant really create his own shot.
