Kansas Basketball is entering the 2019-20 season as one of the top teams in the country. How does their rotation shape out heading into the season?
While Kansas Basketball certainly lost some pieces in Quentin Grimes, LaGerald Vick and others, the Jayhawks are still shaping up to be one of the top teams in the country heading into the 2019-20 season.
For one, the Jayhawks are returning several main pieces from a team that was a perennial top-20 team throughout the season. While last season’s Kansas team was generally very underachieving, few teams in the country are returning as much talent as the Jayhawks are.
Additionally, the Jayhawks are also adding a load of talent. Jalen Wilson and Isaiah Moss are entering the picture, as well as Silvio de Souza, who missed last season due to a suspension.
With the combination of returning talent and incoming production, the Jayhawks will have the perfect mix of experience and excitement in their rotation next season. The Jayhawks have fairly easily the best rotation in the Big 12 on paper, so the way that Bill Self decides to organize all of the talent will play a big role in deciding how this season turns out for the Jayhawks.
Sometimes when a team has so much talent, the way that the rotation shapes out can make or break the production of that talent. Bill Self has been very good at making sure that his best players are playing the most valuable minutes, so in projecting the rotation, I’d expect the Jayhawks to divy out the minutes just like that.
Without further delay, here are the projected minutes for the Kansas Jayhawks rotation.
