JT leads the league in fouls per 48 mins hahahaha

And he said so in post-game comments. Made two points about not knowing how to play with the lead and losing composure with the techs.
6th in the league. What an out of control, immature jerk.15 for Cuz and 9 for IT.
IT just wanted to beat Kyle Lowery in another category.
Haven't we lost three of the last six games, because we can't play with the lead?

The camera angle didn't show below his waste but I think you might be right. Just shows how good he is if we can still get a double double in pain.

PizzaGuy really needed not to get thrown out even up 20. Also, the last minute was pretty ugly. But maybe the players were trying not to be disrespectful to the Bucks?
Regarding Kayte's question in the post-game, I think McLemore was red-shirted his first year at Kansas due to an eligibility issue, having to do with him going to too many high schools, or something.

And of course McLemore's first year playing at KU was his last since only played one year of NCAA basketball. Really shows at this level, but I think he's worth hanging on to for couple more years at least - his rookie contract. I remember Kobe Bryant's first year in NBA and he was just as disappointing in many ways.
He only played one year, but he was there for two, which is really the explanation that Kayte was looking for.

Hmm, nothing against Ben, but Kobe shot 42% in his first year and 38% from 3 point. (6% more than Ben) With less fouls, more steals, and twice the blocks. I think he will improve though with time but more than his shot, I am concerned with his D.

No no on Kobe.
Everyone was dazzled by Kobe's talent from the beginning. He was just sloppy and undisciplined like rookies are, but they were talking about his stardom almost from the moment he hit the court.

I thought it was obvious wasn't comparing talent wise Kobe to BenMac. If you read my post I was simply comparing early struggles in different ways of both during rookie year. Of course, Kobe was projected for stardom at very beginning but it took awhile for star label next to his name to stick and then he rather quickly elevated to superstar. BenMac was called by many best offensive player in college basketball last season and by almost everyone the best pure shooter. But not good enough to go #1 overall in NBA draft thanks to immortal Anthony Bennett
