Lineup No. 1

PG: Dajuan Harris
CG: Arterio Morris
G: Nick Timberlake
F: KJ Adams
C: Hunter Dickinson

This lineup is looking more and more likely with each day. It includes three transfers, but that is how college basketball is nowadays. If Hunter Dickinson commits to the Jayhawks, the rotation would look similar to this.

Timberlake is the only true shooter here, but Morris could develop a jump shot under Bill Self. Harris and Dickinson also can sink one from deep if necessary. It would include an elite defensive backcourt and KJ, who can guard all five positions.

With two ball handlers on the floor, they would distribute the rock to Dickinson and allow him to play bully ball. Kickouts to Timberlake and lobs to KJ would be abundant. This would be a fun, fun team to watch.
