Okay this is what you guys wanted. No more Vick. Our second best offensive player and best 3 point shooter.
We are going to get the living shit kicked out of us on a daily basis now. We will a tiny bit better defensively and waaay worse offensively.
You better hope Charlie fucking Moore turns the corner, or we are losing 6 more games. We would have 8-9 losses instead of 6 if it wasn't for Vick.
Grimes is going to play even MORE now. The only good I can hope for this is that he gets confidence and isn't looking over his shoulder about being taken out, because who's he going to be taken out for? [Reply]

Vick is terrible, has always been terrible, and will likely continue to be terrible into the future. Grimes is too right now, but at least there is potential that he won't be.
Vick has reminded me of a terrible pitcher who has the good fortune of starting for the New York Yankees. He has a 14-10 record and the fans love him for his wins, but has a 5.52 ERA and is lacking in literally every other metric. [Reply]

Sounds fine to me.
LGV shoots 48% from the field, DESPITE taking almost 6.5 threes a game. That is offensive firepower.
Grimes shoots 40% from the field and takes way less three pointers. LGV isn't good at the rim, compared to Grimes he looks like LeBron James.
Vick rebounds much better than Grimes - who is horrendous at it.
Vick actually can get steals, Grimes cannot.
Vick has a higher block rate.
Grimes turns it over at the same clip as Vick.
Vick 17% better than Grimes shooting FTs.
Our only hope is that Charlie Moore or KJ Lawson somehow become Power 5 D1 players. [Reply]

Grimes looked incredible before he got to KU, not sure what the deal is but his highlights were pure wow. Maybe playing against better competition is the problem but he needs to git gud quickly. [Reply]
