What are the odds that KU is significantly better next year (which they’ll need to be to win the conference)? Likely, we’ll lose the conference by two games, but we got our asses beat several times along the way.
To me, I see a few players who can improve the most:
1. Quentin Grimes (or Grimey as he likes to be called -for you Simpsons fans): literally anything will be better than what he contributed this year. He was awful, but I believe the ability could be there. I’d really like to see him focus on being great at just one thing-whether it’s his shooting, ball handling, passing, rebounding, defense, or whatever. Just find something that he can do and contribute with every game.
2. Ochai Agbaji: really just needs to settle in and get more comfortable within the system. Tons of talent. He’ll be a good one.
3. Devon Dotson: Id like to see him become a better outside shooter. That’ll open up the driving lanes for him big time.
4. David McCormack: he’s super raw. I’d love to see Danny Manning get fired and come back to work with him.
I’m not really expecting anyone else to get that much better than they were this year. I think we know who everyone else is.
I’m also not expecting a huge lift from Doke being back. He’s suffered 4 injuries in 3 years. We have no reason to expect him to stay healthy next year. He’s a bonus if available.
