When coaches and fans are frustrated with players, it often leads to a plea to do less. Stop taking those shots. Stop trying to force that play. But last year and through the offseason, the pleas for Christian Braun were the opposite. He was too passive, turning down open shots to force something for his teammates that weren’t there.
Heading into the season, one of the questions around this Kansas Jayhawks team was would Braun get the message from Self and be more assertive? So far, the answer is a resounding yes, and the Jayhawks are better for it.
