Kris getting David Palmered

[BigAssTurkeyLeg]

WTF is going on? I know this has been brought up on the board, but did anyone address this in post game? Did Fran say anything? Just wondering what could possibly be going through his head that a player who will play in the NBA gets 11 mins yesterday. That was without Connor even taking any minutes. WTF.

Kris just hasn't been playing well lately

LOL true. He didn't even score 30 points Thursday.

Exactly.

If he could put up 30, he'd get at least 12 mins guaranteed!

Part of it was PR having a ton of minutes which he should have. I also liked Patrick’s activity yesterday but nearly enough where the breakdown was 32 to 11 for minutes. Thought 22/21 would have made a lot of sense there.

Agree. Not sure how we can justify Kris not averaging at least 20-25 a game.

You can't so don't bother.

Yeah, it really is crazy. Hopefully Fran figures out how absurdly he is handling Kris' minutes.

Well we know that won't happen Chuck. We've seen this show before and we know how it ends.

:/ Sadly I'd have to agree with you.

 

[CO_hawk]

I thought he could have played more as well. Patrick was forcing things early on and talking horrible shots. He never sat though.

You should post Palmer's college stats

 

[jonesy5960]

LOL true. He didn't even score 30 points Thursday.

And he barely hit double digit rebounds and a double double. Freaking slacker.

Not sure how they are relevant?

Right now, Kris pretty much only subs for Rebraca.

I see a lot of comments on here about how Kris is too small to play the 5 and I don't think people realize that's pretty much all he plays.

The fact that he only subs for Rebraca is ridiculous. Hes obviously capable of playing any of the front line spots.

This. There are minutes he should be getting at multiple forward spots. Hell, he’s the only forward who regularly comes off the bench! 11 minutes is a ****ing travesty!

5 min a game for Keegan, 10-15 for Filip and 10 for Pat. He should avg 25+ a game!

Other than Connor who didn't play yesterday.

People who don't think Fran has favoritism towards his kids are not connected to reality.

 

[BigAssTurkeyLeg]

I’d also like to see them try a five out, drive and kick style with Joe T and the forwards for a few minutes here and there.

I barely would consider Connor a forward. I know Fran does, but he’s 6’5” and not a good rebounder.

Does anyone really consider him a forward? Isn't he listed as a guard?

C'mon Fran !!

Jordan Bohannon logged thirty minutes yesterday and continues to play too much. He and Kris’s minutes should be reversed.

This should have been the plan from the get go.

The Murrays are good enough rebounders to make this work and no 5 in the conference has a chance of guarding Keegan.

Iowa could have forced other teams to go small and matchup with them.

His brother was not in foul trouble yesterday, pretty simple

Palm Daddy was our best hope for awhile. What a nightmare Lick was.

While this is true you're likely going to have Kris and/or Keegan racking up more fouls especially against true Bigs. It also doesn't really make the front line any better at rebounding if you're just substituting Kris for Rebraca. We all know what the elephant in the room is.

To make this work you have to intentionally make the opposing 5 play perimeter defense every possession like they do in the nba.

In theory Keegan and Kris are better at defending the opponents 5 than they are at defending the Murrays.

Kris kind of proved the theory out against IU. He defended them on the block better than they defended him on the perimeter.

its not subbing Kris for Filip it’s switching him for Bohannon. 5 out with Joe, Murrays, Rebraca, Patrick. Drive and kick, pick and roll and force their bigs to the perimeter and to switch. Joe T puts pressure on with speed and everyone else has size and can shoot/handle.

I get that. I still doesn't address the issue of fouls and rebounding. I don't think you want Keegan and/or Kris collecting fouls down there. I also think the team's rebounding woes aren't addressed with thus lineup.

Ah.. Got it. That won't happen either. 😁

If you can't force the other bigs out of the game and make them go small it doesn't work.

I think it would but thats just my opinion.

Theres no big man or small man in the conference that can defend Keegan so force the issue.

And yes, it's obviously not going to happen.

This.

 

[Bee93]

I feel that Fran’s inability to get Kris more pt will soon eclipse my disappointment in his postseason record.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Comparing those two is an insult to Kris

Since you brought him up...
Palmer after basketball

 

[BBHawk]

Comparing Palmer to any basketball player is death. He was a one-hit wonder in his 4th year. Kris is just hitting stride barely in his second.

One thing I know... Ulis should stay on the bench.

His plus-minus says differently. Why are you so down on him?

His roster mgmt and postseason woes go hand in hand

Strong disagree, better D and rebounding than Jbo. Should play more.

you all need to watch teams that make runs in dance ( Arkansas). They have atletic defensive guards, pair that with a superstar like KM you can make some noise. Especially if Kris continues to emerge.

However Fran going to ruin it playing Jbo, Connor, Pmac too much.
