Always Be Closing! Kansas basketball player ratings from A to Z in Jayhawks win over Indiana

Tier 3: No Jays

7. Johnny Furphy

Johnny played seven minutes off the bench, playing the best defense of the year and did a solid job while out there. He finished with one point, two rebounds, and one block.

8. Parker Braun

Parker had a 2 minute cameo in this game. He scored on his only attempt and gave up a basket on the other end on defense. Braun finished with two points and one foul, which were his only stats.

9. Nicolas Timberlake

It is time to pull the plug on the Timberlake experiment. He is by far our worst defender and couldn't keep a cold in front of him. Unfortunately, he was known as a sharpshooter and that hasn't happened all year. Nicolas had another 0-for-2 on open looks from 3. He is now 7-for-26 from 3-point range. Take out his opening night game, where he went 3-for-4, and he is four for his last 22 attempts. If he is not consistently hitting shots he has no value being on the floor. It is time for those minutes to solely go to Johnny and Jamari. Timberlake played six minutes and finished with no points, one rebound, and one assist.
