Lineup No. 4

PG: Dajuan Harris
CG: Arterio Morris
G: Nick Timberlake
G: Jaylon Tyson
C: Hunter Dickinson

This lineup lacks size, but it does not lack talent. 6’1″, 6’3″, 6’4″, 6’6″, and 7’1″. Dickinson’s presence here alone makes it possible. It would be a run-and-gun team with surprisingly good defense.

KJ leaves Kansas in a bit of a deadlock. He is probably too good to send to the bench — he is an elite defender, can jump out of the gym, and plays way bigger than his size. On the other hand, he can not shoot the ball from outside 10 feet and struggles from the line. KJ may start every game next year, and he earned that right with his play this season, but Bill Self will have to make a significant decision with him.
