First thing first, this is under the assumption that head coach Bill Self is healthy and good to go for at least the next season. His health issues caused him to miss the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, including the upset loss to Arkansas.

The team is set to lose its top two players in Jalen Wilson and Gradey Dick. There’s also a good chance that double-digit scorer Kevin McCullar also moves on. They do have 6’7 forward KJ Adams coming back and he did well at the center position. But without Wilson taking all of the attention in the frontcourt, will he and former top-40 prospect Ernest Udeh play well enough for them to win?

Kansas is going to need a more scoring big man to win next season unless a couple of the guards have breakout campaigns on offense. Dickinson would go to arguably the most winning program in NCAA Basketball, just coming off a 2022 national championship.

That title was won in part due to big man David McCormack. He, along with the starting big man before him, Udoka Azubuike, is part of a long-running list of centers that have excelled in the Coach Self era. Dickinson would also play alongside some quality defensive guards such as Dajaun Harris that can help hide some of his defensive concerns.
