7/31/2019 Basketball Rewind- KU vs. Emporia State
2/2
The day before Tuesdays game,
the first exhibition of the season,
Bill Self told reporters during a
press conference that he neededhis freshmen to be aggressive.
He said it was a mindset that
they needed to have.
We dont need blenders. Weneed guys to take charge, Self
said.
Tuesday night the Kansas
freshmen seemed to play with
that message in mind. Perry Ellis
took advantage of every shot,going five-for-five from the field
and leading the team with 15
points. The talent Ellis possesses
shined against Emporia State, buthis teammates said after the game
that he has shown that and more
in practice.You see the numbers he has
now, but I feel like he could do
even better, freshman Landen
Lucas said.
I think he definitely could do
better, freshman Ben McLemoresaid. Hes a great athlete.
Scoring seemed to come eas-
ily for Ellis in the 85-54 win. He
will not always shoot a perfectpercentage, but Tuesday should
represent what fans can expect
from Ellis offensively. He is a
gifted scorer, Self said, but he canstill play more aggressively.
When you screen, screen
hard. When you jump, jump as
high as you can. When you goafter a ball, go after it with two
hands, Self said.
That goes for all of the fresh-
men, Self said. Ben McLemoreplayed the most minutes of any
of the freshmen and showed
aggressiveness at times. One
of those times was on a twohanded put-back dunk that
electrified the crowd in the
second half.
First of all, coach was justtelling me I need to crash the
boards more often and stuff
like that, McLemore said.
When I had my chance tocrash the boards, it came
off perfect timing and I just
dunked it .
Freshman Jamari Traylorwas in the starting lineup
along with McLemore and
provided his own two-hand-
ed jam off an aggressive play.Traylor jumped into the pass-
ing lane and stole the ball near
half court, leading to his fast
break dunk.Along with an aggressive
mindset, Self has also talked
about this team playing to
their athletic ability. That ath-letic ability was on display in
both Traylor and McLemores
dunks.
They look like freshmenthat can run and jump, but
they looked like freshmen, Self
said. They dont know whattheyre doing, but they try real
hard and I thought they both
did some good things.
Ee b B Ssk
Pey El-
lis came
the bench t
lead all Kan-
sas sces
with 15 pints.
The esh-
man displayed
sund twk in the paint whee he
ntched seven ebunds, six which
came n deense. The Wichita native
als made 5 7 ee thws in his
Allen Fieldhuse debut.
Its g-
ing t be un
watching Ben
McLeme this
yea. Sel said
the eshman
was a little
nevus head-
ing int the game but he sue didnt
act like it. McLeme fnished with
11-pints, six ebunds and tw
bming dunks.
We may have
set the NCAA e-
cd substi-
tutins. We wee
tying t make it
difcult n u
adi team.
