While I do not think I have mentioned it here before, konza63 will testify that for at least the last 4 weeks I have been calling for OA to never inbound the ball, especially late in the game.

He is simply too hesitant to make really good inbounding decisions.
His hesitation allows defenders to recover from their gaffs, making his inbounding that much riskier.

You watch every tough inbounds we've had late in our games and you will see that the ones with OA inbounding have been extremely poorly executed, with far too many becoming KU turnovers.

I like Dajuan doing inbounding. He's cool and appropriately quick in pulling the trigger.

I'd even go with Jalen.

But please, no more Ochai getting handed the ball out of bounds late in the half or game.

Off my soapbox.

Just thought I would note that a similar thread I was reading on JayhawkSlant today was unanimous (over 40 comments as I write this) that Ochai is not The Man inbounding late in the game. (FWIW I have not contributed to it, just read it.)

Not one dissenter.

I cannot ever recall such unanimity there, especially when the topic is a critique of a player.
