There have always been a few, and for their sake I hope this is just a place to vent and they just never happen to get around to saying anything positive, or else they should probably find something more enjoyable to do with their time. The Wiggins stuff the other night escalated to a CoMo-Kaun type of complex.

In some ways though, it actually helps me shrug off losses or poor play even more, since I find myself poking fun at and negating all of the whining over one of the few teams around here that actually delivers far more enjoyment than disappointment.

I fear for teams if Embiid stays.

He is projected at #4 per draft express and could very well go to #1 with continued progress. Unless he's reeruned, and that's possible, he gone.

Dude, I'm with you. But Self came out this week and specifically said that Embiid is considering staying, for a couple reasons:

1. His family has money. I know that isn't usually the case with players coming from Africa, but his dad is a colonel in the Cameroon army. (warlord)

2. He is more concerned with getting better than getting paid. He said that he is studying the great centers and seeing who stayed in school at least two years and who didn't.

3. He didn't even speak English when he got here 2.5 years ago. There is still a ton about American culture that he doesn't understand and it can be more than daunting suddenly being completely responsible for yourself with the money and pressure of the NBA lifestyle when you still don't really understand the country you live in.

Think about how much more safe college is than the pros for him right now. He has to do nothing but go to class and go to practice. All of his meals, housing, transportation, everything... just taken care of.

This is not what I am saying... this is what Bill Self said. And what Joel is saying. It doesn't seem reeruned. It seems unbelievably mature and wise.

I still say he leaves, though, but my god can you imagine him playing next to Cliff? With Oubre on the wing?

And if SELDEN stays too?

I hear ya, and Frank Martin and Mike Beasley both talked about Bease staying 2-3 years, all the way up to the last week of the Season. Not gonna happen. His Parents may have money, but I highly doubt they have top 5 NBA money at their disposal. He gone.

Now, Selden...............that's possible, especially because he isn't blowing it up yet. He's got game, but that is a kid that could use AT LEAST one more year in school.

I've been saying Embiid is gone since November. Gone. I'm not letting this get my hopes up, but it's fun to imagine.

Of course, we all KNEW that Brandon Rush was a one and done. I do think Selden should be leaning toward staying.

EJ was playing pretty well for some Polish club team last I checked. It's no million dollar Sasha Kaun type pro contract, I'm sure, but it's something.

This KU team could certainly use an EJ type of performance again at ISU next week if they want to win that game. It won't be easy.

I'd like to catch one of their flop games for once.

Kaun went 6-6 with 13 vs Davidson to save our ass. I will always love that man for that one.

And for about a thousand other reasons. Still the nicest player I've ever met in person and one of my all-time favorites. How do you not love a huge Russian computer programmer named Kaun?

And that son of a bitch would demolish ****ers on screens. He set the best screens on the screen by 13 miles.

We got down 4 at the 8 min mark and I could remember being completely out of my mind. I'll never forget that game or Kauns stick backs. It was excruciating

He'll never amount to anything. He'll be lucky to the mascot of a Pro team. /CoMo
