Which Gonzaga Bulldogs does Kansas need to be concerned about in the second round?

Ryan Nembhard - Guard

2023-24 Statistics: 12.8 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 6.8 APG, 1.2 SPG, 45.0% FG, 32.7% 3PT

Ryan is the younger brother of former Bulldog Andrew, who was the point guard for the dominant 2021 Gonzaga team that reached the championship game. He transferred to his brother's alma mater over the offseason and has served as the primary facilitator and pace-setter for the offense.

Nembhard is a pass-first playmaker who also scores at a relatively high level. He shoots an efficient 45.0% from the field and connects on one 3-pointer per game on 3.2 attempts.

While he will not set the box score on fire, Nembhard is the facilitator for this Gonzaga team and has a high IQ on both the offensive and defensive ends. Expect him to disrupt passing lanes and set up some easy buckets for the Bulldogs' big men.
