I’m going to reuse the first sentence from last year’s preview, with a minor edit: “this is the first time in three four years Texas will be starting a season without a lottery-level freshman in the paint…”. Look Ma, all better. Kai Jones might make me eat these words, but I feel kinda (a bit) safe-ish in saying this is the year the Texas freshman bigs lottery streak ends. That’s not to say there’s a lack of talent on hand, just that the group lends itself more to the multi-year starter type of player than the transcendent teenager.
