Kansas Basketball Power Forward Depth Chart

1. KJ Adams
2. Zach Clemence (RS)

KJ is the only natural power forward on the team. Even then, he started every single game last year at center. Thankfully, Kansas finally has a true center on the roster (a pretty good one at that), which should allow the power forward to be positionless at times. Kansas plays small lineups a lot, so we could see a combination of four or five players at the 4-spot this season.

As for Zach Clemence, he returned to Kansas after initially transferring and committing to UC Santa Barbara. The coaching staff expects him to redshirt during the 2023-24 season unless they need to pull it for additional depth. I have a feeling that after the team sustains a few injuries, he will be right back in the picture.
