Three Kansas basketball players that could make a difference going into March

Ochai Agbaji

Without a doubt, Ochai Agbaji has been one of the most productive guards for Kansas this season.

Finding over 12 points per game, the junior has seen a good portion of the Jayhawks’ offensive action while remaining healthy this season. Agbaji has consistently put up respectable numbers for Kansas, but it hasn’t been enough to pull the team ahead at times.

Ochai has been exploring a more defensive role these last few games, but it’s important to keep in mind that this was a fairly light schedule that featured Iowa State (2-15, 0-12 Big 12) twice.

Having Agbaji consistently scoring will be crucial moving forward. Hopefully, he’ll be ready to step back into the high-speed pace required against their tougher ending to their conference schedule.
