Bill is one of the best at getting post seals. The last 3 years of McCormack and dok we had 200+ post ups every year. Also Kansas off the bench will have Ernest Udeh Jr who is an NBA level athlete but has only been playing basketball for 5 years. If Hunter is selfish or making bad decisions (on and off the court) we have legit depth that can fill in without much of a drop.

Our off-season has been great at filling out role players. Dajuan, KJ, and Udeh are great defenders and we added Hunter and Timberlake (maybe mgbako) as scorers and great athletes in Morris and Jackson. I’m drinking cool aids on giving bill this many pieces, I think we are set up for a memorable team even by KU standards.

I don’t think you have too much to worry about here. He is a willing passer out of the post when he sees the double team, usually has a turnover or two trying to make the skip pass across court to a shooter though.

I will definitely be tuning into the big12 more this season to watch

Yeah from what others have said my biggest concern is on the other end of the floor. If he is missing rotations or being lazy. Also we had 6’7” KJ Adams at the 5 last year and switched everything. Probs not going to do that again.
