If he can’t get minutes for us he should transfer to somewhere he will. He has an NBA body - one year shooting 40% from deep and a team might take a flyer on him.
I assume it as simple as he is 9th on the depth chart and TJ plays 8.
IMO - If ISU was 1-15 it could be a topic of discussion- with ISU at 15-1 it’s really not.
Fyi - He was hurt in Maui that’s why he didn’t play there.
That may be, but he made sure the team had fresh shark steaks that night.A shark got him when they were snorkeling.
Think announcers called this out too, but Keshon forcing a change in direction gave Watson time to chase that down.Gilbert missing Watson and not hitting him for the easy alley oop but then Watson getting a block to erase a bucket seconds later kind of just sums up his career. He deserved the dunk but the block is such a better representation of how electric he can be as a player. He went baseline to baseline to make that play, I feel like we all saw it coming, it just set up perfect.
I think it's just with Milan you have that 15% chance that he goes off for 20+ points and can win you a game. Watson does all of the non-scoring things better than Milan.Hot take: there were times during this game that I was happy Watson was out there instead of Milan.
His block being one, but also he had some key, really tough rebounds, that there’s no way Milan would have gotten.

Yea Milan can just get a shot anytime too, like at the end of the first Huston game last year. He has that length and the fade away. Him and CUJO really space out a defense.I think it's just with Milan you have that 15% chance that he goes off for 20+ points and can win you a game.

He’s basically a rim runner. He’s not lost, he’s just limited in what he can do.Right. But offensively he’s totally lost. That’s a problem.

Having Milan out there in the middle part of the 2nd half would have helped get us out of the slug our offense became for a bit. KU’s defense was sagging off everybody (off the ball), minus CuJo, and clogged everything up in the paint.On defense yes but even when Milan is not scoring 20 he spreads the floor and allows a more clear lane for Keshon to score. Milan makes the offense way better by just having that ability. Watson is one heck of a defender though
Not to mention not many people can get around him one on one. He looked really good tonight.Hot take: there were times during this game that I was happy Watson was out there instead of Milan.

Agree with almost all of this. He’s in the short corner for lobs and offensive rebounds, because that’s all he can really do on that side of the floor.I suppose lost is maybe the wrong word, but he does not move from the short corner. That’s probably where he is supposed to be, but the fact he doesn’t go into any motion is kind of crazy. Severely limits the offense. He is no way a threat to shoot the ball.
Defense, very good. But I think we saw why he doesn’t get much run with this team when everyone is healthy if they keep the rotation tight at 8.
Physically speaking, Watson should be the superior defender (both on ball and off), rebounder, and finisher. Particularly if had gotten as many minutes as Milan to get comfortableHot take: there were times during this game that I was happy Watson was out there instead of Milan.

Only minor disagreement, I think there is value to him seeing some minutes in games where we are getting killed in the boards. He’s an excellent rebounder.
