Many Jayhawk fans including myself thought Wayne Selden should stay for another season of Kansas basketball. The 6-foot 5-inch Boston area native had a successful junior year for Bill Self. At times, Selden was unstoppable. As a result, he earned All Big-12 Second team honors.
As a matter of fact, without Selden, Kansas might not have had the big win over Kentucky? Selden’s Uncle Anthony, reacting to Wayne’s play, became a national TV and YouTube sensation during the 2016 Big-12 tournament.
I was not surprised when Selden was overlooked in the NBA draft. Several teams needed his help.
