With a college basketball offseason full of activity in the transfer realm, Kansas basketball is certainly no stranger to both sides of the coin as they gear up to begin the 2021-2022 season.
Increased transfers – both in and out – mean more moving pieces when it comes to cementing a starting lineup and rotation.
To recap, Kansas has lost Latrell Jossell, Tyon Grant-Foster, Tristan Enaruna, Bryce Thompson, and Gethro Muscadin.
However, incoming signees include Bobby Pettiford, Joseph Yesufu, Kyle Cuffe Jr, KJ Adams, Zach Clemence, Cam Martin, Jalen Coleman-Lands, and Remy Martin.
Clearly, a big plus for the Jayhawks is the return of veterans Ochai Agbaji and Jalen Wilson. Here are some familiar (and not so familiar faces) that we think could join them for a starting spot – as well as who’s next in line.
Kansas basketball rotation: Starting PG, Dajuan Harris Jr or Remy Martin
Our first spot has a tie between Remy Martin and Dajuan Harris. Some might say Martin is a lock to start at this spot, but Harris’s performance in the NCAA tournament against Eastern Washington might beg to differ.
He shined on college basketball’s biggest stage, displaying his ability to create shots off the dribble and hit long-range shots – something that a point guard must have the ability to do.
Martin, however, is a veteran that already touts three-time All-Pac-12 accolades and led his conference in scoring last season with 19.1 points per game.
Regardless of who plays the backup at this position, this should be a natural position for either player to be in, which can allow them to play to their strengths.
