3. Nick Timberlake’s jump shot is as good as advertised

In an otherwise ugly scrimmage, Towson transfer Nick Timberlake showed a little bit of life. He connected on 4-of-6 field goal attempts, including 3-of-5 beyond the arc. It was encouraging to see him comfortable in his role, and he was also able to make a difference in the pull-up game.

One weakness of the currently assembled roster is 3-point shooting. Timberlake will likely be the best shooter Kansas has this season. Kansas basketball needs players to make things happen offensively, and Timberlake could serve as a consistent shot-maker if he keeps things up.
