Impact When Self was asked to give his starting lineup for the upcoming season, he said "it would be hard to keep Juan (Dajuan Harris), KJ (KJ Adams), Hunt (Hunter Dickinson) and Zeke Mayo out of the lineup." The first three are not a surprise, but Self clearly sees Mayo as a big part of their team for the upcoming season. Mayo was an elite scorer at South Dakota State that also was very strong at running the offense. Mayo and Harris give coach Self two very trusted ball-handlers in the lineup, and have a lot of similarities to the 2021-22 team with Harris and Remy Martin that ultimately paired well together and won an NCAA Championship. The final starting spot in the Kansas lineup next season is likely between AJ Storr and Rylan Griffen at the small forward spot, but both should still see plenty of action.
