Kansas basketball: 3 advantages and disadvantages for Kevin McCullar if he returns to KU

Disadvantage No. 2: If he does not improve his offensive game enough, his draft stock will stagnate or even diminish.

McCullar was disappointed after KU’s season ended against Arkansas in March Madness. But if he returns to Kansas, his primary reasoning will be to improve his draft stock by improving his game. If he does not improve or, even worse, gets injured, he is putting his NBA career in jeopardy.

While he has the potential to be one of the best players in the Big 12, there is also a chance he stays the same player as last season. In this case, he will have wasted a year that could have been spent professionally, and a year of his career will have been wasted.

His jump shot is what needs to be improved the most offensively, but if scouts think they can fix that issue in the pros, we likely will not see McCullar back for another season.
