I swear this is not an attempt to troll. What are you basing "Marial Shayok is a stud" on? All I can see is that in 3 seasons at VA, he never averaged double figures and never started even half if his games in a season. I mean, I know it is exciting when a player chooses your team as their destination but is there any reason outside of "because he chose us" to think he's so great?
Genuinely curious since I only saw Virginia play a half dozen times or do last year and Shayok never stood out as even memorable, let alone a stud.
Shayok didnt even get an invite to the NBA combine so being "the man" really did nothing for him.
I am just saying that putting Shayok's G League combine invite out there as an example of what playing in ISU's offensive system can do for you is pretty lame. Grimes stunk last year and got invited to the NBA combine along with Dotson and Lawson.
Probably the best decision he could have made to transfer. Got himself into a position from lockdown defender and role player to a featured go to guy on both ends of the court that got him into the draft!You know, it's honestly got to be mission accomplished for him. Super happy for the kid and proud of him.
After Shayok committed...
And then he doubled down after the 1st Team All Big 12 season...
What a fun ride it's been for Marial as a Cyclone. Tremendous job by Prohm helping to expand his game and big credit to Marial for an outstanding work ethic.
Oh, and a Jayhawk free night ain't bad

@randomfan44 you doing ok?
@randomfan44With the 94th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft the Phoenix Suns still DON'T select Dedric Lawson from the University of Kansas.
I nominate this for a 2019 Clonie.Estimated time of death:

Sure, why wouldn't I be? Frankly, I'd be more bummed if KU stunk as bad as they did last season and still had 2 guys get drafted. The fact that this was the worst KU team in 10+ years coincides exactly with the fact that it had no players drafted for the first time in 10+ years. That's how it normally works.@randomfan44 you doing ok?

Dotson might have been taken in the 2nd round but mercifully he came back to KU for next. Hopefully he improves nicely over the next season, leads KU to a Final Four and grabs a spot in the late 1st round next season.
Lawson signed on to play for Golden State's summer league team. But honestly, he doesn't strike me as an NBA talent. Maybe, who knows. There's plenty of guys at the end of NBA benches who didn't look like NBA talent.With the 94th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft the Phoenix Suns still DON'T select Dedric Lawson from the University of Kansas.
