He's not a great athlete by any means, at least not compared to the other players on a team like Kansas. Yes, he missed too many bunnies and that is frustrating. But right now he is the player that Self can rely on to not make too many mistakes out there.
The thing that drives me nuts is Traylor getting minutes over Diallo and especially Bragg. Okay, we have been over the argument on Diallo making too many mistakes. Fine, but Bragg should be getting many more minutes that Traylor. When Jamari is out there he will make good hustle plays and then turn right around and make a bone headed play. The guy is a red shirt senior and yet he still plays very inconsistent basketball as if he were a freshman.  |
So True.....On Traylor
Go watch the last 3 minutes of the first half against UK...
He is totally responsible for us being 5 up to being 6 down....
Losing his man...turnovers....
No reason why he is playing over Bragg....
