IF you really saw all his games then you would know he wasn't a starter until last year. He was buried on the bench those first 2 years

I have watched every KU basketball game since the 2012-13 season.
You are correct he didn’t start every game his first two seasons (though he started at least some games all four years at KU, IIRC).
He was not “buried on the bench” a la Tyler Self and co.

Chandler Hutchison (the draft pick right behind Allen) was buried on the bench his first two years by an Australian that is on one of the teams that will play the Jazz in a preseason game.

Svi being better than Allen is pretty amusing.
biggest blemish on DL's resume

I was going off of memory, but I googled it and you are correct.
Sorry for committing the capital offense of being wrong on the internet.

What's your opinion on Devonte Graham?
Good thing he didn’t say that. What he did say is that the Jazz are good at finding gems this way. And the record supports that.
In 2009 I predicted you would be a savant basketball talent scout nostradamus for us here. I can't prove it because of the crash, but all of the old posters will remember that one statement that I've said for years once.
I'm finally here for the credit I so richly deserve.
I was specifically awaiting this thread to request said credit.
Please like this post to give the credit, and send all budding scout video's to me. Preferably scouts younger than 10, I don't want to waste my time in finding the easy win. Anyone can do that.

Devonte is one of my favorite Jayhawks, but I think his NBA ceiling is something like Raul Neto. Probably playable, but not a starter or major contributor. Has a lot of heart — really good at a lot of things, but not really great at anything. Undersized.
He also had the tendency sometimes to disappear at key moments (see almost the entire NCAA tourney this year, and Oregon in the Elite 8 the year before), although he was huge and clutch in the Texas Tech game in Lubbock this year.
why even have a first rounder when you can have a guy like that at second rounder?
trade ingles and future first rounder pick for 2 second rounder!!!

Some guy on ESPN named him the 3rd most impressive rookie in SL and noted his short arms which was probably the reason he wasn't drafted higher.

I'll add my opinion of him. 3rd string reliable pg. Ceiling isn't as a backup like Frank Mason but I can see him cash a couple checks in the league before he goes overseas to finish his career

people get way to caught up in wingspan. If you can play,you can play. Heck I knew a dude with one arm that would beat down id say 90 percent of the board in bball.
Cool it.

Wingspan really matters just like height does and these define which position you can defend and hence which position you can play.
Svi is a T-rex with a wingspan shorter than his height: 6'4.75''. This is an anomaly. For comparison the shortest player in the draft combine 6'0" Carsen Edwards has 6'6" wingspan.
