It's why I'm not as doom and gloom about our team's chances in the tourney this year. March is all about guards and getting hot.

Then Selden better get his shit together. He's currently hanging out on the ice cold part of the spectrum.

CoMoChief · 03-05-2015, 11:59 AM

Selden has been a huge disappointment

He's supposed to be the #1 go-to scorer on offense. Other than a few games, he's been nothing but a role player.

He doesn't slash to the basket well. And he's been ice cold shooting the ball.

No he definitely isn't ready, but guys get bad advice all the time. It is very possible that he could be gone. Especially because of his length and quick hands. Not saying it should happen, but I am saying he is the most likely of anybody.

saphojunkie · 03-05-2015, 12:15 PM

Selden's problems I think can be fixed with improved handle. Mason's handle is so good that he constantly gets to the rim at an advantageous angle.

Selden needs to improve his dribbling so that he can actually maneuver and create good angles to the rim. He's trying to do it purely with power and athleticism now, and it just doesn't work anymore.

The only reason anyone is bagging on Selden is because he was hyped. You want to know who he is?

Elijah Johnson. Five star recruit - four year player.

I will just be happy KU will have a team where seniors will get significant minutes. Hadn't had that in a few years.

How many times have we seen guys go pro who were not ready? NBA drafts on potential and I believe that he would be drafted. I would not expect him to return next year. If he does, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah. We were all damn excited about our stud freshman class before wiggins committed and we figured out Embiid was a monster.

@YahooForde: Y sources: NCAA investigating possible impermissible benefits to family member of KU's Cliff Alexander from NBA agent http://t.co/XFyppy9aWG

Kansas forward Cliff Alexander remains sidelined because of an NCAA inquiry into possible impermissible benefits received by one or more of his family members from an NBA agent, multiple sources have told Yahoo Sports.

Alexander has not yet been interviewed by the NCAA, sources said, though not because of a reluctance by either the school or NCAA investigators. Sources said legal counsel has been retained by the Alexander family and that may be slowing the investigative process.

.Cliff Alexander has missed the Jayhawks' past two games. (USA Today)
Alexander will not be reinstated until after an NCAA interview occurs and a decision is made on whether benefits received by his family are impermissible. If it is ruled that a violation occurred, Alexander's eligibility for the remainder of the season could be affected.
Mike Oliver, who coached the five-star recruit in Chicago at Curie High School, told Yahoo Sports Thursday that he visited Alexander Feb. 21 when the Jayhawks played TCU and was concerned.

"I knew something wasn't right," Oliver said. "He just wasn't Cliff."

A week later, Alexander was sidelined with what the school termed an "NCAA issue." Kansas has not commented on the nature of the issue, but sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports that it is agent-related.

Alexander has missed the No. 9 Jayhawks' past two games, victories over Texas and West Virginia. That hasn't prevented Kansas (24-6, 13-4) from winning yet another Big 12 championship. But Saturday Kansas goes to Oklahoma and is expected to be without Alexander, fellow forward Perry Ellis (sprained knee) and possibly guard Wayne Selden (ankle).

Before he was sidelined by the NCAA issue, Alexander's playing time had plummeted in recent weeks. He played fewer than 20 minutes in seven of his last nine games, bottoming out a total of 27 minutes played in three games against West Virginia, TCU and Kansas State Feb. 16-23. Alexander scored just 28 points in the month of February.

WTF? How does a player who can't dribble the ball become the #12 player? And how does the #12 recruit become a bench/role player?
