Can't attack there when embiid is hogging the post down low.

Don't a lot of college rims have that clang sound? It's a signature college ball sound for me..

Sounds off. Could just be the feed.

They're treating Wiggy like he's a shooter stretching the floor, maybe run some PnRs for him?

There u go wiggy

True. Wonder why they don't run him off some curls to set up a straight line drive to the basket. Seems the wings are used only as spot up shooters in the offense.

Nice effort on D by Wiggins on that last play which Wake Forest ended up hitting high off the glass to end the half.

Wiggins 2/6 (i think) 5 points and 2 or 3 boards

Yeah I remember last game Ellis ran a nice flare screen for him...this is looking like Barnes from UNC all over again, too much traffic in the paint and most usage goes to the bigs and guard play.

There were a couple of chances for alley-oops in the last couple of minutes of the half which you could see Andrew looking for, but didn't end up getting the pass.

I really like watching Kansas play. I would be happy to draft Wiggins, Embiid or Seldon.

In these situations, I can't understand why the coaching staff sticks to their traditional offense rather than tweak it to utilize player strengths. Sure, if the system works, why change it? But I always think not maximizing your players' abilities is such a shame.

I know Coach K does it to an extent, which could be a factor in his consistent success.

Wiggins needs to stop shooting the three. He had a wide open lane there.

Apparently wiggins has been sick this past week.

KU plays so much better when Embiid is actually on the court.

Don't know why he doesn't start. He's shown enough in the games to deserve that position.

I think Embid should stay another year but he wont.

TANKNATION · Post #516 » by **TANKNATION** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:01 pm

wiggins is a bust, dude sucks.

Embiid's been awesome today.

Wiggins just isnt anywhere close to what people expected.
Dude looks more athlete then actual basketball player. Sure he has good potential but right now he just isnt all that special and I would take both Parker and Randle over him.

Ragnar0k · Post #519 » by **Ragnar0k** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:06 pm

Wake doing a good job packing the paint with the zone against a weak 3pt shooting Kansas team.

You should become a scout for the NBA, you can apparently see the future.
