[Cracked Sidewalks] Kansas Preview

[brewcity77]

Earlier this summer, Bill Self said #mubb would be preseason #1, but now it looks like his Jayhawks could have that honor. Cracked Sidewalks breaks down Kansas' new look with Hunter Dickinson that is rather similar to the old look.

Dickinson is going to be a problem.

Will there be a Chaminade preview?

Our biggest advantage early in the season will be our team cohesion and chemistry. That will dwindle as the year progresses, but we’ll come out looking like a well oiled machine while newly assembled squads will still be working out the kinks.

Expect us to assert our dominance early.

What a great test early on.  The Maui invitational field is insane.  Would love the opportunity to play these guys after a UCLA win.

Will there be a Chaminade preview?

I do full previews on first and second round MTE opponents and smaller shared capsules on potential third round opponents. That means Chaminade gets full preview treatment, including a projected starter that grew up within 30 minutes of Marquette's campus.

Uh oh.Trouble in Lawrence

Not having Morris definitely changes things. I expect he was going to land 5th-7th in the rotation, so maybe not starting, but playing enough to matter. Considering their depth, this probably means Elmarko Jackson has a larger role.

If Dickinson is a problem, how is he going to guard Oso, that might be a bigger problem for Kansas, just beat him down the court for Oso that will be easy

I like your thinking.
