We evaluated each of the options Kansas basketball has to start at the 2-guard and why they might be a good fit alongside Dajuan Harris and Kevin McCullar.
The loss of Arterio Morris opened up a spot in the starting lineup for the Kansas Jayhawks. Although Bill Self and Co. enter the year as the No. 1 team in the country, things are uncertain as to who will step up during the final days before the season begins.
Self has run seven or 8-man rotations in past years, and that will likely be the case come November. Nonetheless, he will have plenty of time to test out lineups and see which players are at their nest. The Jayhawks will receive some much-needed experience during their non-conference slate, which is one of the most formidable nationally.
Dajuan Harris, Kevin McCullar, KJ Adams, and Hunter Dickinson have cemented their roles, but there are a handful of players battling for the final nod. Here, we examine all four starting lineup candidates for Kansas basketball, taking into consideration where they fit with the others and the strengths they bring to the team.
