PG-Frankamp (he's going to shatter any records Tyrel Reed or Jeff Boschee had at KU)

SG-Seldon (how awesome would it have been if McLemore stayed?, Seldon is a beast though, but not as polished offensively as Ben.)

SF-Wiggins (duh....the guy's at least the next Tracy McGrady)

PF-Ellis (this guy needs to be the leader of this team - not sure if he's ready for that. Hopefully with the late season success last season can carry over to this season along with him getting better in the process, bigger and stronger. He was kinda a pussy down low last season. He needs to get bigger...but give it time, he was only a freshman.)

C-Embiid (he's 7ft tall, much more athleticism than Withey and has more offensive game, blocking shots is easy and even though Withey made an art of it and is one of if not the best blocking center in KU history...not to mention he has a soft shooting touch and can hit 10ft jumpers...he's raw, but the sky's the limit for this Embiid kid.)

Mason, Tharpe, Greene, Black off of the bench. This is a DEEP team. There are a couple others too like Traylor and WhiteIII, but KU can easily run a 9-10 group this season. This is gonna be a high scoring/shooting fresh team that's going to run people right out of the gym. There's nothing that takes the wind out of another team's sails more than a team that does nothing but drain 3's all day. When you're scoring 3 more times than they're scoring 2 when they're playing their asses off, it's naturally exhausting to look up at the scoreboard and see you're down 12-15 or so pts when you think you're outplaying them. It's the kind of team that can make a dangerous tourney run when having the hot hand.
