Dickinson is the only reason this team was even in the tournament the past 2 years. That’s how poorly constructed the team around him was (and that starts and ends with Bill Self sticking with KJ and Harris).

Lose a year? Is he referring to a year of his personal life for recovery?

Kind of an odd quote about a guy with no eligibility remaining.
If they can find a way to bring KJ back for another season, they’ll make it happen.

I hope DJay above is correct in his interpretation, because that really reads like Self is talking about a guy with another year of eligibility.

You mean to tell me that Bill Self. Hall of Famer Bill Self after going a quarter of a century being a top 4 seed. A plethora of #1 seeds. Had he not had Hunter freaking Dickinson the last two years he would have missed the tournament.

You're high.

Yes and without any doubt. They got outscored this year overall when he wasn’t on the floor. Simply a dreadful offensive team whenever he was on the bench:

@M_Vernon
KU’s +/- with Hunter Dickinson this season:

— ON the court: +230 (best on team)
— OFF the court: -8

He’s the only player where KU had a negative +/- when he wasn’t out there.

I feel like you don't need to understand ball to realize that Hunter was performing miracles out there when the opposing teams literally did not bother to guard TWO other players on the floor.

What do you think is going to happen when Hunter is constantly double and tripled team? Every team was sagging off KJ and Harris and cheating down low.

Is Hunter frustrating to watch at times? Yes. Would he be even more dominant if Harris and KJ could do ANYTHING on offense? Obviously.

You know the argument has reached a new level of hyperbole when a player who went 6 weeks during conference play without a double-double and spent the entire second half of a tournament game shitting down his leg (and not scoring a single point) is being described as 'performing miracles'.

And that's another easy layup with Dickinson nowhere to be seen, you'd think after a while he'd learn how to defend a pick and rooooh no Jim, he's turning water into wine at the 3 point line again!

It's getting kinda gross up in here.

Alex Smith territory, we need Sweet Daddy Hate to chime in.

The new thread is open for anyone who wants to be done with this conversation.

Bearcat has the ban hammer cocked and ready though.

The team was absolutely atrocious without Dickinson on the floor the past two seasons and I don’t think it’s much of a mystery as to why, yeah.

People can hate on the guy all they want for perceptions of his effort level or allegedly being a choker or any other contrived reason but this team would be NIT-bound at best without him. Just horrible roster construction around an offensive big of his quality.
