How could this be the case? Frank Mason, Devonte Graham, and Josh Jackson were always thought to be the best in the nation. However, in the exhibition games, the depth of the backcourt has really stood out. Lagerald Vick could be the breakout star for Kansas basketball this season, as he’s scored nine and seven points in the two games, and has had the most consistent activity level of any Jayhawk so far. He even earned the start tonight against Emporia State, in place of ineffective Carlton Bragg.
Svi Mykhailiuk has also played very well so far. The junior Ukrainian scored 16 points against Washburn, making 4-6 three point attempts.
