He didn't even really practice before the last game.

He must have nude pics of Self otherwise I don’t know why the dude is starting. He’s terrible. Can’t defend, can’t score, can’t rebound. Makes no sense lol.

The next game is midnight

I guess he can handle the ball alright and dunk. That’s about it.

Weird how bad of a rebounder he is for being such a good athlete.

Since it continues to come up it was something I was mindful of watching Tuesday. In a couple plays he just looks timid, like he's hesitant with his first reaction to the ball on a rebound and other players are much quicker picking up when and where there might be a rebound.

A couple warmups before Duke in a couple weeks. I know they lost, but the talent for Dook looks really strong.

We badly need to Storr to improve defensively so Self feels comfortable playing him at the 4. KJ simply cannot be starting in March if this team is going to win it all.

As it is, if we’re not gonna play 4 guards/wings, I far prefer the Flory/Dickinson 4-5 lineup to KJ/Dickinson because while we lose offensive spacing (with both lineups), we gain defense and rebounding with Flory.

I don’t know how to coach bb, even badly. But, I can still see that there are other players other than KJ were in the lineup, the team would be better. A lot better.

Coach Self is the best college bb coach. But, he’s always had a blind spot for his “guy”. I hope he gets past that this year.

With KJ you get 5 or 6 easy shots a game that you know are going in. Wirh Storr you get a bunch of boneheaded play and difficult shots that don't usually go in.

It just ****ing stinks KJ can't rebound. Just really stinks. I think people are being too hard on KJ after this latest bad game...he'll be better. He didn't really even practice last week.

I like KJ. I like him on the team. I don't like his role. For me, I'd like to see him in the 20 minute range and coming off the bench. He can make some really good plays & he is high energy, but not being able to make a shot outside of a dunk and not being a rebounder is a detriment to the team with the amount of minutes he's playing.
