Bethea (assuming a Malik Newman jump)
Tiller

I'm pretty sure Peterson will be the lead guard.
I've heard that Hall from UCF has interest in KU. That would be a great start to filling out the roster. [Reply]

Doesn’t mean he will be bad going forward but there’s no reason to bank on him contributing.

He's athletic.
Can get to the rim. Talented.
Yes he did suck his first year but I can see him being much much better two years later.
There were glimpses of what Elmarko can be his freshman year. I was excited to see him as a sophomore. He seemed like the kind of kid who has taken big jumps for Bill in the past. [Reply]

The difference is that, by this point, Furphy was already listed on several mock drafts. He's a shooting specialist, which is always tempting for the league.
I saw Flory briefly make an appearance on one mock draft about midway through the season. Two weeks later he was off it. Every article I saw evaluating potential NBA players in the tournament omitted any mention of Flory.
He might leave Kansas, but I'm pretty confident it won't be to go league this year. [Reply]

No because Dix used to play for Fran McCaffrey who is one of the worst defensive power 5 coaches in America, or was. Dix plays no defense of any kind. [Reply]
