M-I-Who? Kansas basketball player ratings from A to Z in win over Missouri
By Tony Zuzzio
Tier 3: No Jays
7. Dajuan Harris
Juan played all 40 minutes of the game. He continues to turn the ball over and his defense has regressed while his offense is still poor. It is time to start dialing his minutes down. The mouse finished 3-for-6 from the field with eight points. He added two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and four turnovers. Mouse was 0-for-1 from three on the day and is 4-for-14 on the season minus his hot night against Kentucky where he went 5-for-6. He continues to miss open shots and layups and his defense has not been as dominant as it has the previous two years. You know it’s bad when Fran Fraschilla has stopped the over-hype train he has done the two previous years. Juan is playing the worst basketball he has as a Jayhawk since his freshman year.
8. Nicolas Timberlake
Nicolas came in and hit a 3-pointer. He went 1-for-3 on the day with three points, one rebound, and one turnover. Timberlake played six minutes in the first half and did not see the floor in the second half. He struggled on defense as he has all year and was consistently beaten. The Timberlake experiment could be coming to a close. He is 7-for-24 from three on the year and his defense is terrible. With only three nonconference games remaining, it is looking less and less likely that he will find his stroke and consistently see minutes.
9. Jamari McDowell
Jamari played four minutes and was 0-for-2 from the field and did not register any other stats. He did not provide an impact and saw little action.
