Power Forward - KJ Adams

Like Harris, Adams has appeared in each of Kansas' past 70 games and is a mainstay in the rotation. While he'll probably stay in the starting five, the uber-athletic forward could see a decrease in playing time if Self opts for a small-ball lineup with Storr playing power forward. There are so many possible combinations that could jeopardize some of his minutes.

The incoming senior always plays with a high energy level and intensity, throwing down dunks to send Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy. His absence of jump shooting is a major downside of his game, though. Adams will always be somewhat of an offensive liability on the court, but Self is likely willing to look past that now that two proven bucket-getters can ease the scoring load.
