Graham
Svi Vick Coleby Azubuike That's a significant step down from last year, I'd say. A little more balance towards the big end, and we still have Bragg hanging around if he ever decides to get his shit together. But definitely not as much firepower as last year, and I'm not so sure we're any better defensively. A lot is going to depend on Azubuike, and we're REALLY gonna miss Josh Jackson. Still, Self has been in this position before. There's no reason why this team can't keep the streak of conference championships going when we've had past KU teams do it with far more question marks coming into the year. |

Newman is going to absolutely get buckets..but not much else. I would imagine he's going to be our leading scorer. If Graham is gonzo and we don't get a grad transfer for PG, it wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibilities that Marcus Garrett ends up being our PG. We NEED Duval or a good grad transfer PG more than anything. I think the starting line up looks like this assuming Svi and Graham are both gone, as expected. PG - Insert Grad Transfer - I don't expect to get Duval SG - Malik Newman, 17ppg, 3rpg, 2apg SF - LeGerald Vick, 12ppg PF - Carlton Bragg, 9ppg C - Udoka Azubuike, 10ppg, 8rpg, 3bpg ---------- PG - Marcus Garrett 5ppg, 4apg SG - Sam Cunliffe 8ppg SF/PF - Mitch Lightfoot 4ppg SF/PF - Billy Preston 9ppg PF - Dwight Coleby

Malik and Graham may both be gone. Hopefully Svi stays.

Is Svi going to get any looks?
He seems to me to be a guy that needs to stay in. He doesn't have the elite athleticism that will get a guy drafted. |

He may just based on his very young age. But I'm with you.

Hard to imagine a KU team starting Vick-Cunliffe-Preston-Bragg-Az. Would be a bubble NCAAT team

And I don't doubt it about Graham. When Self addressed the seniors he specifically said to Graham and Jackson wouldn't it be great to be able to stay through this? That sucks. I like watching Graham. |

The status of Mr. Appalachian State and Mr. Mississippi will be the first step for determining next year's viability.
After the elite 8 last year we were thinking Self was due for a down year, netting Josh changed that. We'll have to wait and see what happens between now and the summer. |

How can a guy that wasn't good enough after a year of playing basketball suddenly be good enough after a year of not playing basketball?
Considering NBA teams would look to Self first for input on Newman, I doubt he would give glowing recommendations for a guy that makes a promise and then blots.
