Bill Self often has to get creative with his qualifiers.
The Kansas coach, every year, loads his roster with talent. There's been Andrew Wiggins, Sherron Collins, Frank Mason, Josh Jackson, Kelly Oubre, Ben McLemore, Mario Chalmers — and that's only looking at guards during a 16-year run where KU has often earned the reputation of being a big-man school.
So it's difficult for Self to compliment players in absolutes when it comes to his history with the program. A current guy might be good, but was he more athletic than Wiggins? A better shooter than Svi Mykhailiuk?
