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.
