Rush update
Junior guard Brandon Rush can do everything in practice except contact drills. During some parts of practice, he has to wear a yellow jersey so players will know to go easy on him. That doesn’t mean they go easy on him with their comments. Rush said junior guard Mario Chalmers called him “Bumblebee.” Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn’t know when Rush would be cleared for contact.
Most improved
Self called sophomore forward Darrell Arthur the most improved player on the team and said he should help fill the void left from Julian Wright’s departure.
“If he plays to his capability, he can be not the passer but a bigger producer, points and rebounds wise,” Self said.
Jayhawks in the NBA
The Miami Heat traded former Jayhawk Wayne Simien to the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, but Simien might never wear a Minnesota jersey. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Simien will likely be released. He is still recovering from a knee injury. Self said Simien would be a good NBA player if not for injuries.
“I’ve still never coached a better college player,” Self said. “There was nobody I coached you could pencil in before the game 23 and 11. It was just done. He could play bad and get 20.”
