Projected Kansas basketball depth chart after 2024 transfer portal cycle closed

Center

1. Hunter Dickinson
2. Flory Bidunga
3. KJ Adams

Dickinson announced he would return to school last week, immediately putting Kansas in the upper echelon of national title contenders next year. The Second Team Consensus All-American and Big 12 Newcomer of the Year will be one of the best players in the country once again.

Bidunga committed to the Jayhawks knowing he might need to come off the bench in his first season. Given that information, he likely didn’t expect to be a one-and-done. The Congo native will receive his fair share of opportunities but is viewed as a multi-year player by the coaching staff.

While the two aforementioned players will receive the bulk of opportunities at the five, Adams has experience starting at center. He could play short spurts in small-ball lineups when one of his big-man teammates is in foul trouble.
