We are free and available anywhere you get your podcasts, and you can find us on our YouTube page. And on today's edition of the show, we're talking who's going to be the best KU basketball player for this upcoming season. I think it's an interesting

debate. A couple players that you could probably throw out there. So we'll get into that. We'll get into our typical segments. Who cares? And whose stat line is it anyway? Where we go over some fun stats and a little trivia there. First, this episode is brought to you by GameTime.

Terms apply with GameTime. Well, Nick, uh, I guess let's start here. Who deserves to be in the conversation among best players for Kansas? Let's start with Hunter Dickinson. I think that's a shoe in. Um, he deserves to be in that conversation from there. I think if we're just going like we can get into projections, how you think this guy is going to fit. But if we just want to go based off tape, what have you done in college basketball to this point?

You have to put AJ store in that combo because of what he's done at Illinois. He is a prolific scorer. Like I can get excited about Rylan Griffin. I can get excited about Zeke Mayo. I don't know what those guys are going to look like when they put on the crimson and blue AJ store. Like, even if there are deficiencies, if there are some things that he does, the bill self doesn't like, I know he can put the ball in the bucket, probably going to be good for 15, 16 points a game that automatically puts you in that combo. I don't really know that I'm, I'm comfortable putting anybody else in there. That's, I think the way I would frame it would be, it wouldn't shock me if a guy like Zeke or Ryland,

we get to the end of the season and they're like, yeah, they're one of the two best players on the team. But sitting here today, it's kind of tough to make that case over either one of those two guys I just mentioned. So yeah, the Ryland Griffin one is interesting to me because what if he does end up on the year averaging, let's say he was about over 11 points last year, you know, you're going into another year.

Obviously you have to make a transition with a new team and everything and, and all the options you have around you and you're going to play less possessions per game than Alabama did. But like, what if he averages 14 points per game and shoots 40% from three and is like by far KU's best three point shooter. Does that at least get them in the conversation? Yep.

Maybe. But I think when we're talking about who's your best player in any given year at Kansas, you have to be more than a niche player. And I'm not, I don't know if that stat line that you just described for Griffin would be qualifying as that but that kind of sounds like okay you're a floor stretcher you're a spot-up shooter I don't know that he does enough other things to be considered best player like Kevin McCuller say what you will about how it ended for him but he did everything for Kansas

last year he could score he was a great defender he could rebound like he could move the ball he could be a secondary ball handler. So he checked a lot of boxes. Same with Hunter Dickinson. I think that's a prerequisite for being in this conversation. How many of those boxes do you check and how many different things do you do at a high level? I feel like if we have this conversation an off season ago, maybe you could stretch yourself into saying DeJuan Harris deserves

to be in the conversation because of the most important moniker as opposed to the like best play you know what I mean like the value aspect but I feel like that ship has sailed after last year you didn't see that another level of improvement what let me throw one other name out there just to I don't know kind of be interesting is there any world where KJ Adams could work into that conversation like what if he just arrives this year as – because for all of the faults of certain lineups that KU has thrown out there that haven't had the spacing or whatever, if you have more three-point shooting with Ryland Griffin and Zeke Mayo,

what if it does work? What if Zeke Mayo – or I'm sorry, what if K.J. Adams basically becomes this unstoppable driver of the basketball and he's shooting 65% from the floor. He averaged 12 and a half points per game last year. Let's say that gets up to 14. Let's say he becomes a better, at least offensive rebound. He's getting 14 and six on 65% shooting. He's a good defender giving you a couple of assists per game. Like that's kind of in the Kevin McCuller mold, not the same way they would go about it at all. But like, does that at least get a little bit?

What actually, you know what, what's odd about that is what you just described to me about KJ Adams being the best player on the team should frighten every Kansas fan that is listening or watching this. Because if KJ Adams is Kansas's best player next year I'm afraid they're in trouble Derek I disagree KJ Adams okay you know I like KJ I've been a KJ supporter from the get-go but what's happened over the last

couple of months has and I don't like it, has made me sort of reverse course and take the other side because as KU has hit the transfer portal, they bring in all these guys. I know that there's still a strong contingent of KU fans who are saying, no, KJ's still a starter. He's still going to, Bill Self doesn't take guys from the starting lineup to the bench. I agree with you. There's not a lot of data to go off of, but what I do know is when Bill Self is kind of disgusted the way a season ended, the way that this last one did, he is going to rock the boat. He is going to change things up.

And there is the easiest thing you can point to is KJ Adams playing next to Hunter Dickinson on the same floor as DeJuan Harris. Derek, it does not work so even if that what you described happens with kj if he doesn't become someone who can stretch the floor offensively it doesn't matter it doesn't matter because you can't have him on the same court with dewan harris on the same court with hunter dickinson that offense that, it's stuck in the mud. The offense gets stagnant. It's ugly.

It's clunky. And no amount, I don't care who the other two guys are. I don't care how good of shooters they are. It's not going to be enough to clean that up. So, no, I'm not willing to put KJ in there. KJ can get better. I don't see a world where he's KU's best player. Yeah, I don't think so, but I don't know. I guess-

You do this. You do this too. You'll bring something up and then you'll get me kind of hot about it. And then I get done and you'll go, yeah, I don't think so either. I'm just, all I'm saying, do you remember a couple of years ago, going into the national championship season, Kansas had, all I'm saying, do you remember a couple years ago, going into the national championship season, Kansas had, similar to this year, lost in the second round, got blown out in the second round by USC, and Bill Self wanted to make sweeping changes, right? They ended up returning four or five starters.

And I remember before Bryce Thompson ended up transferring, there were a lot of conversations about, you know, I don't know about Christian Brown in year two. It felt like he kind of plateaued from where he was after year one maybe Christian Brown would come off the bench as a junior and Bryce Thompson would be a starter maybe they'd go out in the portal and get someone all of a sudden Christian Brown turned into a first round draft pick and and very different right Christian Brown could shoot threes and does so many other things that can't we've seen the

stories before though players taking that next step as seniors I don't think it's unthinkable that with more shooting on the court because yes there were problems with the offense last year let's not forget though when Hunter Dickinson was actually making threes the offense was actually okay you know like he just went into a mega slump and so if Hunter Dickinson can go back to at least making proficient threes and Ryland Griffin and AJ Storr give you the scoring and Zeke Mayo the three-point shooting that you're looking for I think there is more of an avenue to it but I don't want to make this it's not just and Ryland Griffin and AJ Storr give you the scoring and Zeke Mayo the three-point shooting that you're looking for, I think there is more of an avenue to it. But I don't want to make this a Katie Adams answer. Yeah, it's not just shooting.

I'll just finish with this. It's not just shooting with Hunter Dickinson. He is a 7'1 big guy who is the most efficient post-scorer in college basketball now that there's no more Zach Eadie. You don't want to make Hunter Dickinson exist primarily on the perimeter. You want him down low, and you can't do that when you have a six, five power forward on the court with him. Okay.

So who would be your official pick Hunter Dickinson or AJ store? Cause it seems like those are the two that, that you would be picking from. I'm going with Hunter Dickinson, second team, all American, you know, first team,

all big 12. Like this is one of the 10 best players in college basketball last year. And I think with an enhanced lineup around him, that's the other thing. You don't just think about what can this one guy do if he gets a little bit better? It's well, what can one guy do if everything around him gets better? What can Hunter Dickinson do if the pieces around him are more tailor made to his skillset? He already had an all American season last year. What if you got three shooters playing alongside him this season? How does that change what he's able to do?

What does that unlock specifically for him? I don't think it's unrealistic at all to wonder if he can have an even better season than he had last year. Could he come back this year and have 22, 23 and 10, 11 rebounds a game? Like, I don't, I don't think that's far-fetched at all. I see. This is one where I think it's interesting because a hundred Dickinson will be the answer by just like production, right? If you're looking at points and rebounds and like you said, like all American teams, like that is going to go to that guy with production. Okay.

If I go back to this year, like when, when Kevin McCuller was healthy, I think Kevin McCuller was the better player than Hunter Dickinson because of the way that he impacted the game in so many other ways. And Hunter's not a great defender. I think Hunter's actually an okay, like one-on-one post defender. He is big and that like still does matter, even though you do get put out in space more but i do have serious concerns about the defense and what that leads to in terms of

how you can defend and defending pick and rolls and we saw them kind of get diced up with that against gonzaga it wasn't all hunter it was other players messing up too but like just inherently that's going to kind of lower your floor there i do wonder if like a two-way wing can do that now the problem is if I'm having this discussion with AJ store, he hasn't necessarily been known for being like a two-way wing. I don't think he's like a bad defender, but I don't think he's known as being like a great defender either. He's also not like a great rebounder. He's not really a great passer. He's just kind of a mercenary score, you know? And so if that's what we're talking about here,

then yes, I think Hunter Dickinson would have to kind of be the answer uh i'm off defense in general i'm just i'm off i don't let's go the other way you know like hey you haven't been watering your you know you plant some you plant some flowers in the garden and they say you know you don't want to give these things too much water well you don't give them very much water all of a sudden they start wilting and dying what do you do you just give them as much water as possible let's see they start wilting and dying. What do you do? You just give them as much water as possible. Let's see if this works, right? Because what I was doing wasn't working. The whole like, let's be balanced. Let's get guys who can, I don't care. Two-way, oh, we were supposed, KU was supposed to have the best defensive backcourt in college basketball last year with DeJuan Harris and Kevin McCuller.

They were not the best defensive backcourt in college basketball. Alabama went to the final four because they got buckets. Can we be one of those teams now? Just give me a team that gets a bunch of buckets and then whoever gets the most of those buckets, I will declare that player the best player on the team. Yeah. Well, and maybe that is AJ Storr then because he is a bucket kidder. Honestly, I will leave the door open. Like I could actually see that being, that being the case. Like what if AJ store does average 18 points per game? And like, it's just, I don't know, having a wing, the versatility of having a good wing is so important. You can play them at the three, you can play them at the four, right? It allows you to, if AJ store is really good and you can throw out lineups of AJ store

at the four with Ryland Griffin at the three and Zeke Mayo at the two. Like it just unlocks a whole nother level. Well, I know we're going long on this, but I just want one last thought here. Like every single off season, when you don't win the national championship, what do we always say? What does this team need? Oh, they need a guy who can go get his own shot. They need a guy who can get a bucket. And it, sometimes it seems a little repetitive, like every single season they need bucket getters. Like, is there anything else to it? But the answer is not like, no, that's what you need. Like in the NBA, Joel Embiid has been, we all love Joe,

been one of the best players in the league for the past five or six years. But what's the knock on him? That when you get to playoff time, you have to get him the ball. You have to get him to the ball and get him set up to be great. When you have a wing, when you have a ball handler who can do that himself, when you have a Remy Martin, you don't need other things on the court to happen just for this one thing that you do really well to work out.

That's the same case with Hunter Dickinson. He's great, but you've got to get him the ball. And it takes time to do a post move. If you have a wing who you can just hand it to at the top of the key, let him go to work and get buckets that way, especially in late-game situations, to at the top of the key, let him go to work and get buckets that way, especially, especially in late game situations, especially at the end of the season.

That's why we tend to look at those guys and say, oh yeah, they're kind of important. All right, let's get on to another episode of who cares talking a little KU football, KU basketball on locked on Jayhawks. First, this episode is brought to you by GameTime,

And if you're new to this segment, I'm going to give a couple topics. We're going to say which one we care more about. First up here, Kansas football being picked fourth in the preseason poll for Big 12 Media Days next week, or being pegged as a top 25 team in the upcoming college football 25 video game.

So one of those things excites me tremendously. One of those things scares me to death. And I don't know which way you think I'm going with this. I'm very excited that KU's a top 25 team in college football, the video game. Like I've been waiting. Me and you used to play Madden together. Like I have been waiting for this game to come out. I'm already plotting.

You know, what's going to be the characteristic of my head coach? Is he going to be a schemer? Is he going to be a recruiter? What am I going to, you know, what's going to be the strategyer? Is he going to be a recruiter? What am I going to, what's going to be the strategy here that I'm excited for? I'm terrified that KU has real expectations, not expectations by KU fans, like KU fans expected the Hawks to be good last year. Right. And they met those expectations. Now

the rest of the conference conference the rest of college football expects kansas to be good and that terrifies me like i don't know what to do with expectations as a kansas football fan so i would say i care about that more only because that's what's going to like cause me more stress and anxiety this season is like can is can can this program who we've seen just fall short of the lowest of expectations for the last 15 years can they actually turn the corner and say like okay you built on it you know you're two under Lance Leipold went to a bowl game you're three you compounded that with even more success like can is there another level is there another level this core and this team can go to this season and on paper it seems like

the answer is yes but i'm just i'm not gonna believe it until i see it yeah crazy five first place votes uh as part of that too for me though it is the college football one just because that like the preseason poll they can be picked 13th and finish second they can be picked second and finish 13th right with college football that is tangible if that's what they're rated that's going to make my experience playing with them more fun right okay yes but just because they're ranked what are they would you say they're ranked 20th in the top 25 yeah just because they're ranked 20th in the video game doesn't mean with you at the helm they're going to finish in the top 25 yeah just because they're ranked 20th in the video game doesn't mean with you at the helm they're gonna finish in the top 20 by the end of your digital season so no but

it makes it more enjoyable to play with because that means you have better players right it does scare me though that like the developers and all the writers who got to go to like the ea sports headquarters and play the game it scares me that they have all said this game is super realistic. There's all sorts of different elements. I'm like, Oh, so Jalen Daniels is going to get injured in the game too. Tell me that thought hasn't crossed your mind. Injuries off baby injuries. You're going to be starting. You're going to be starting Cole Ballard week three, bud. Uh, dan hurley staley staying with uconn or ku hiring chase buford as an assistant coach

hmm um i guess i'm more excited about i guess i care more about uh dan hurley chase buford cool Dan Hurley, Chase Buford. Cool. Walk on at Kansas had a viral postgame reaction. Pretty fiery on the sidelines. I think he was in the G League. He was in the G League. Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember that postgame press conference? I do. Was he actually coaching? Because that might have been with the team. Was Frank Mason on his team? I don't remember. I just, it was like the Rio Grande Vipers or whatever. And he was fired up. And I'm like, man, I don't know any other coaches in the G League, but I can't imagine they're all as into it as this guy is. So that's cool.

Dan Hurley returning to UConn. I wouldn't say it's like, it's a scary thing. College basketball can be very fickle. We love doing this thing where it's like two in a row, which is, I mean, impressive. I'm not trying to like poo-poo that at all. Two in a row, is he building a dynasty here? It's tough.

It's really tough to sustain it. And I thought it would have been pretty shocking to see him leave UConn where you have all the leverage, all the job security, and they're going to make you one of the highest paid basketball coaches, period, for a Lakers job where we know in the NBA, like you don't have any leverage. You don't have any job security. You can be like Monte Williams, one of the highest paid coaches in the NBA out after one year. Like they will toss you aside

quickly. The fact that he was even entertaining it was a little bit surprising to me so I would say I care more about that but I'm not sure how much we're going to talk about this in a couple years I think the Hurley one is more pertinent just because of like there's going to start being arguments and conversations about who's the best coach in college basketball and who is the face of college right it felt like it was Bill Self hands down when you had Coach K and Jay Wright retire and everything. And now some of those, and to me, it is still Bill Self, but I think that's going to be more of an open world. And I also think that's, you know, one other big hurdle, but actually I do care more about the Chase Buford one. You know, what have we seen with these big coaching hires is that these other blue bloods

is that it's not as easy right now, or at least it just hasn't been attempted at some of the other schools, to go out and just get whoever you want. And you look at all three of the other Blue Bloods have had to make hires in the last three years, I guess UConn Blue Blood now and whatever, whatever you want to call Blue Bloods. But like with North Carolina, they hired internally with Hubert Davis, Duke hired internally with John Shire. And now Kentucky, basically, I know Mark Pope wasn't coaching there,

but he's a former Kentucky National Championship player. And you always hear this with KU fans, and it always makes my eyes roll when it's like, oh, Danny Manning or whatever, this former KU player, because we have to keep it in the family. And I think that's so stupid. Go get the best coach you possibly can. You don't have to keep it in the family. But it is interesting whenever you hire somebody that, and I don't know,

maybe this is just a stepping stone job for Chase Buford to get back into the G league or the NBA or something like that. But this guy was a really good coach. Like he, he won a, a whatever the G league championship or like had the best record. I don't know if that was the COVID year and they didn't finish. He won like back-to-back championships in,

in the Australian basketball league. At the very least he's bringing probably new, I don't know if that was the COVID year and they didn't finish. He won like back-to-back championships in the Australian Basketball League. At the very least, he's bringing probably new, I don't know, maybe things get a little stale on the KU coaching staff with as much as the guys have been around. He adds some new presence and he's a younger guy. Like what if this is grooming your next potential head coach? I'm not saying that's the favorite to be the thing that happens, but like would it be that crazy?

I'm trying to think how old Norm Roberts and Curtis. Okay. Norm Roberts is 58. Curtis Townsend is 66. So I'm, I'm kind of thinking through this now, like when Bill Self does retire, does he take, is the whole, are the old friends, are they all going the old friends are they all going to like are they all going to walk out hand in hand and be like kind of we're all done like can you imagine Curtis Townsend working for another coach that's not Bill Self same with Norm Roberts like come on you've had a lot of success you've been here for a long time so it could be just like a clean sweep brand new coaching staff which is that's what's not I think that's what scares a lot of fans, especially blue blood fans. If you're Kentucky, if you're Duke of like, I don't know

who this new guy is. I don't know who any of his assistants are. I don't know if any of them know the first thing about the different nuances of coaching at Duke or Kentucky. So I understand why fans do that. I agree with you. Go out and get the best guy. But Kentucky settled for Mark Pope, Derek. Mark Pope, and that's Kentucky, right? They didn't go out and get their guy. They had to take Mark Pope. Duke's a little bit different. Coach K kind of handpicked his guy in John Shire. I don't know if Chase Buford is going to be that guy for Kansas, but to me it's just kind of like, hey, take a shot. Like bring these dudes on, and I would hope that that's kind of the idea

as opposed to, hey, you went to KU, I'm friends with your dad, let me do you a solid here. I hope there's this idea of let's take a million shots at all these former KU guys who are in the coaching world now. And 99 of them can turn out to just be another dude. But if we stumble upon one guy who's just got something special, then it makes the whole effort worth it. So I have no idea if Chase Buford's that guy, but I get the mindset behind it. Right. By the way, he did coach Frank Mason.

So maybe as the connection, Frank said, he wants to be future K head coach. Buford takes over head coach, Frank assistant. And then 20 years from now, Frank Mason's head coach. There we go. Let's finish up here. Whose stat line is it anyway? This is locked on Jayhawks. All right. Last thing here. Whose stat line is it anyway? I'm going to give Nick a stat. He's going to try to guess it.

He's been pretty good with his guesses. Here's the stat for today. So Bart Torvik keeps track of players' dunk stats. It only goes back to 2010, though, so we don't have dunk stats before then, so keep that in mind when I say all-time. I'm only referring to really the last 15 years. So since then, who is KU's career leader in dunks for players 6'2 or less? 6'2. And this is listed by KU, 6'2 or less, right?

So realistically, it might be like 6'4 or less. Devontae was 6'4, I think. Devontae was listed at 6'2. so realistically it might be like six more left right davante was six four i think davante was listed at six two can you tell me how many dunks what's the number of dunks the number is nine nine dunks so most likely like nine and three years three a year which means you don't remember them like that's how it works with dunks you need to have like 20 in the season we're like probably a lot against like you know some random buy team in november i've got to go with devante like i just i can't really picture any other tiny dudes dunking i'm going on to graham is first congrats He had nine of them. Let's go.

Second is actually DeJuan Harris, who has four, which I can remember like one. I don't know that I can remember all four. But maybe he has a big year and can surpass Devontae. How about this guy in third? Joe Yesifu in third with three of them. Frank Mason and Josh Selby each had two. Remy Martin and Devon Dotson each had one. Now, in contingent with this, KU just added Shaquille Moore, a transfer from Mississippi State. Would you like to guess how many career dunks Shaquille Moore has

who is listed under 6'2"? I think he's listed at like 6'1". How many years has he played? Four, three foot one. How many years has he played? Four, three, four. The fact that you're bringing this up, I'm guessing it's more than nine. So I'm going to go with 11. 28.

Which is six more than that entire list together. So I say this Shaquille Moore, I don't know how big of a role he can play. Might play 10 minutes a game, might be 15, 20. I don't know. He's the greatest sub six foot two dunker that Bill Self has ever had. I don't know if that does anything for you. I mean, you know how I feel about dunks. It's a positive feeling.

So anytime you can tell me there's a new dunker on the block, I'm game. But you know what?
