Two days before the Kansas basketball team departed for South Korea — before Carlton Bragg busted his nose during a practice session in a Gwanju practice gym, before the Jayhawks’ version of Team USA started 2-0 in Pool D — Wayne Selden sat inside a back room at the Sprint Center.
Team USA had just dispatched Canada in a warmup exhibition, and Selden, the Jayhawks’ junior guard, was asked about the summer development of Bragg, an incoming freshman forward from Cleveland.
“I think he’s really good. I think he has a chance to be great,” Selden said.
