2. Who shines at the shooting guard position

Dajuan Harris, Kevin McCullar, KJ Adams, and Hunter Dickinson are all but locks to start. The only question that remains in the starting lineup is who will play the 2.

Arterio Morris, Nick Timberlake, and Elmarko Jackson are the candidates to win the job. There have been murmurs that Morris is considered the favorite after some strong showings in practice, and Jackson seems to be a close second.

The starting lineups for the exhibition games will likely come out to the public at some point. Kansas basketball fans should look out for which of these three Coach Self gives the nod to.
