KU coach Bill Self sees Carlton Bragg busting out of sophomore slump as season progresses

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self says he envisions sophomore Carlton Bragg building on Saturday’s solid performance against Davidson at the Sprint Center.

“I think Carlton is a much, much, much better player than what he’s shown so far this year. I think that he is probably getting ready to take off in a positive way,” Self said Monday on his weekly Hawk Talk radio show.

Bragg, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward from Cleveland, scored seven points and grabbed eight rebounds while playing 18 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 89-71 victory over the Wildcats. He’d missed KU’s previous game while serving what turned out to be a one-game suspension.
