Kansas basketball player grades: Ranking Jayhawks two weeks into the season

With the Kansas basketball season two weeks in, we gave player grades to each Jayhawks player based on their performances early on.

Hunter Dickinson: A

2024-25 Stats: 18.5 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.8 APG, 2.0 SPG, 2.0 BPG, 55.6% FG, 0.5 3PM, 40.0% 3PT, 63.2% FT

You can’t ask for much else from a center at the collegiate level. He is one of the most dominant post players Bill Self has ever coached. Dickinson single-handedly carried KU to a victory in what was an otherwise awful showing against Michigan State. The defensive struggles will always persist, but what he brings to the table offensively is unmatched.

Zeke Mayo: A

2024-25 Stats: 13.3 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 3.5 APG, 0.5 SPG, 44.2% FG, 2.3 3PM, 36.0% 3PT, 1.000% FT

Mayo has been everything as advertised through the season’s first four games. He serves as a secondary ball handler alongside Harris and can score from anywhere on the floor. There hasn’t been a KU player with his long-distance range since Lagerald Vick. Despite a couple of rough shooting nights, Mayo has proven he can compete amongst the best players in the country.
