LAWRENCE — There was a moment this summer during the World University Games when Hunter Mickelson had a moment of clarity.
Loose balls were finding him. He always seemed to be in the right spot for offensive rebounds.
“After the first two or three games, I realized I was playing fairly well,” the Kansas senior said. “But at the time, it clicked that it was because of energy — getting me in places I wanted to be, finding the ball.”
That version of Mickelson ended up being one of KU’s most productive players, as the 6-foot-10 forward averaged 8.
