NBA teams size up McLemore, Withey at combine

Self screamed all last year at the guards to penetrate. Let him scream at the 6'8' guard that can handle the ball as well as anyone on the team. Early on, expect Ellis to be the main offense inside. Self will let Wiggins go to the rim any time he wants.

If Lucas doesn't start, he will play many, many minutes. Just like Ben getting to practice, Hudy, Self breaking him down and then building him back with daily practices with Tharpe's team. He has moved into the job to begin with until Jo Jo shows prime time defense, rebounding and scoring. Landon has a year under Self playing against Withey, Ellis and Traylor. Jo Jo will eventually start because he is suppose to be a OAD.

Slo-mo at the end shows he was desperately trying to avoid it.

This to me sums up what has happened to the landscape of basketball with the signing of Wiggins. Also, Calipari announced yesterday that his team could go undefeated. How about the opening game against a loaded mature Michigan State that comes on right after Wiggins and Parker go against each other when we play Duke. Wiggins will go against Walker of Florida in the SEC challenge at Florida. The toughest pre-season I can remember. This team will be forged steel when Conference, Big 12 Tourney and the NCAA begin. Linardi has already put the Hawks as a 2 seed.
Get ready for a lot of folksy pre-game platitudes about the purity of Lawrence and coaches like Self that inspired this media shy phenom to come to Lawrence. Announcers aren't saying Wiggins is coming to KU, they are saying he is coming to Lawrence. Recruiting just took a big, big shift at KU.

Kentucky has to play Robert Morris again this year. I would love the same result.

Andrew Wiggins picked Tharpe to be his point guard. Pretty big confidence builder. There is a you Tube video of Wiggins at age 13 That would scare me if I was back playing 8th grade basketball.

Wiggins followed heart in signing with Jayhawks

This might be another reason why he came here. I love it, he already hates Kentucky.

Naadir now has the best point guard job in America. I think Self's best coaching job recently was to make Naadir into a guard that all KU fans can have confidence in. If Conner can handle the ball as well as Naadir then he will take over as a starter. I think Naadir will be there at the end unless Conner turns into a Keaton Page clone.
