Landon Lucas looks like he didn't touch a basketball during the off season. Not sure if that's what happened or not, but Lord have mercy, right now he can't do anything right. He's going after rebounds with one hand, I haven't seen him take a shot in what seems like a month (this might actually not be a bad thing), his defensive presence is non-existent and he's drawing fouls like sh*t draws flies.
Seems like his head is just not in the game. Hey, he's a college kid, so who knows what external factors might be having an impact. Nonetheless, I just don't see how coach can keep giving him minutes anymore. Hate bagging on a college kid, but Lucas just isn't performing.....at all. |

I doubt it is the only explanation, but the tight foul calling has probably thrown off his play.
I guess the upside to having none of our bigs produce anything of note, it doesn't matter when several foul out every game. |

Right now, Lucas is tied for 5th on the team in rebounding (4.2 per game). Behind Jackson (6.2), Bragg (5.2), Azubuike (5.0), Vick (4.8), and Mason (4.2). I fully expect him to get that fixed. Just seems like he's regressed from last year. |

Lucas is obviously lost. No confidence. He's a 5th year senior. He is who he is. He had a fair run last year. Kudos. He is not only failing to contribute but, going to cost us games soon. I'm not sure why Self is not giving Azubuike more opportunity in these early games when we are comfortably ahead. He is obviously going to be a force inside at some point in his KU career. Why not take some hits with his inexperience now to get to the payoff faster?

Good points, farmerchief. Hopefully Landon will just be himself and give us a solid positional center who gets his share of rebounds. Anything on the offensive end is gravy. He seems like a really good kid, so I wish him well. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Was in the locker room today and saw Landen had a boot on his right foot. Could be minor, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's hurt.
