3 biggest transfer portal needs for the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team next season

2. A lengthy wing who can shoot the 3-ball

Even if Johnny Furphy returns for a sophomore year or Liam McNeeley commits, one of Bill Self's primary focuses in the transfer portal should be a 3-and-D wing. Kansas needs size in its lineup to add another rebounder, and ideally, that wing can sink 3-pointers at a high clip.

Kansas has a big void to fill with All-Big 12 First Team honoree Kevin McCullar departing for the NBA. Rakease Passmore should see some minutes as a freshman, but the Jayhawks will need a more experienced transfer who can take some of the weight off of KU's other best players.

The only way that Kansas can utilize Hunter Dickinson's talents to the fullest is if he is surrounded by players who can shoot from outside. There were too many times this season that Dickinson drew a double team in the post to pass it to an open player, only for them to miss long-range. KU needs all of the shooters it can get.

A player with a similar skill set Cade Tyson to Belmont transfer Cade Tyson would be a good fit for next year, though there will likely be better options within the next few weeks. Kansas won a National Championship by having several shooters and multi-purpose wings on the court, and that should be an approach that Self takes this offseason.
