They didn’t look great in the conference opener against West Virginia, but that didn’t stop the Jayhawks from getting the win. Kansas basketball got some big minutes from a certain bench player.
Freshman Christian Braun played 30 minutes against the Mountaineers setting a new career-high in minutes played. Braun finished with six points, five rebounds, and two steals. After considering hist stats and time played vs. the other Jayhawks on the roster, Braun has an argument to make the starting lineup.
Would replacing McCormack with Braun make Kansas basketball be a good decision? Better yet, what would some potential starting lineups look like, and what would be their strengths and weaknesses?
