It was quite obvious (at least to me) from somewhere around January that he should have been the #1 overall pick over Wiggins and Parker. And maybe he would have been had he not got injured and had a NCAA tournament run, but I don't think the hype around Wiggins coming out of HS was ever going to allow that to happen. Would have taken a lot for a team to take that kind of risk on a guy who was virtually unknown 6 months before over Wiggins.

I will say I’m really happy to see Wiggins settle into a niche as a contributor with a good team. Always seemed like a good dude.
Easy to dominate high school kids when you’re that size and that athletic. He was still damn good as a freshman, even if he didn’t live up to the hype. I hope he stays with the Warriors as long as they’re relevant. He could win a few titles and have a really nice career overall. |

Right. I supposed we'd have to chuck in some brain power as well, but I'm not entirely convinced it isn't largely due to his passive nature.

Enjoyed watching Wiggins' burst and blowing by defenders in college when he forced the issue.... all 3 or 4 of those times.

Didn't see it posted here yet:
Jalen Wilson has signed with a professional agency. They have one agent that is NCAA certified. He hasn't announced anything, just shared on social media that he signed with an agency. https://247sports.com/college/kansas...aft-186495266/ https://web3.ncaa.org/AgentCertifica...AgentDirectory Edit to say one agent who is certified in Kansas. I didn't realize that made a difference. Christ I hate the NCAA. |

This is an interesting narrative (that he got so much better over the course of the year) but I don't know if I buy it. I think we've just told this story to ourselves so now we believe it. Looking at game logs he was good in the beginnning of the season, he was good in the middle, and he was good at the end of the season with actually very consistent stat lines. He went 7-7, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks for 16 points against Iona in November. He went 5-6, 5 rebs, 3 steals, 4 blocks for 18 points against New Mexico in mid December. He went 6-7, 8 rebs, 3 blocks for 18 points vs Texas Tech in middle of February. He was shut down after Mar 1. Now that storyline about Kelly Oubre I could get behind until he shit himself in March. |

Wiggins was a guy that forced the issue and got himself to the line a TON when he was here (6.5 per game). In fact, Wiggins forced himself to the line more than any other Kansas Bill Self player EXCEPT one year of Frank Mason in 2017. |

So Pack transfers to Miami for 800k and a car. And to think DeSousa's 25-50k under armor/adidas thing prompted a multi-year investigation that still isn't resolved. Good on him though, Miami is a vast college upgrade.

If Conner Frankamp had hit that third three in a row we win that game and he probably doesn't transfer and we'd have had to deal with that bald headed douchebag with the helicopter dad for four years.
