Kansas center Landen Lucas wasn’t in the mood to be told he’d played well — even if an eight-point, five-rebound effort appeared to be progress in Kansas’ 89-74 victory over Stanford on Saturday.
“There’s still a lot of improvement I have to make,” Lucas said. “But I’m aware of it. I’m not settling for anything.”
All throughout his Kansas career, Lucas has relied on his intelligence to make up for any athletic shortcomings he’s had. The 23-year-old, who already has his business degree and likes to head to Kansas City casinos to challenge his mind in Texas Hold ’em tournaments according to a recent Bleacher Report story, is as deep a thinker as the Jayhawks have had in recent seasons.
