What are the biggest strengths and weaknesses coming into this season based on the current roster that Bill Self has built for the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team?

anywhere free and available that you get your audio side of things with the podcast. Today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking the top strengths and weaknesses, as well as maybe some areas that I think are kind of in limbo can go either way for KU for the 2025 to 2026 Kansas Jayhawks basketball team, team that's been built through the off season now for Bill Self and company. I will start with the strengths, get to the weaknesses, and then finish up with areas that yeah, I think maybe are a little bit more TBD to be determined for KU. Let's start with the strengths right here. I think the biggest

strength that I look at coming into this season for KU. I mean, I've talked about this one before, I guess theoretically, I could just say having Darren Petersen. And maybe you would add Flory to that to say like having a one two combo having a one two punch, having a superstar and Darren Peterson having your superstar be a guard guards when in March guards have ball it's harder to double team a guard than it is like a big man down in the post right? That's probably the

biggest strength. But outside of that from a team identity perspective, from a team orientation, I think it's their size, length and athleticism. Now I'm grouping this all together in one thing, because they're all kind of physical traits, right? The size, the length, the wingspan, your quickness, your speed, your athleticism. It's all kind of a physical nature of things. But I think Kansas could really excel in this area. And I think kind of branches off in a lot of different ways and how it can manifest itself as making an impact on the basketball court for KU. And I think they're all kind of sides of the same coin just different. Obviously, they are all different terms. They mean different things, but they represent similar things, right? Like if you're a lengthy team, an athletic team probably

means you're going to be good in transition and on defense, right? And a lot of times those things kind of go together. But I look at be good in transition and on defense, right? And a lot of times those things kind of go together. But I look at the combination of all three of those right having size, having length, having athleticism, and I immediately see like they should be a good rebounding team this upcoming season. You know, previous episode, we've talked about areas that Kansas should be better or Kansas might be worse

or Kansas should be around the same from where they were a season ago and. One of those areas that we talked about, thank you that were day or two already caught that episode, right? He's rebounding the basketball Kansas this past season finished 65th in the country in defensive rebound rate, so they were good at it. 4th in Big 12 only play offensive rebound rate. Not great 10th in Big 12 only play

163rd in the country. And as we talked about earlier, Bill Self when he has a top 50 offensive rebound rate offense, for the most part, like seven of the last nine times his teams has done that he's had a top 10 overall offense in the country. So if you can get those extra possessions, you can get offensive rebounds, a lot of times it leads to a more efficient offense. Well, okay, having good size, having good length, having good wingspan, having good athleticism to jump for. And that's the other thing here that I don't know that I've dove in too much enough into. But like, for so many years, Kansas, it wasn't just the Kansas had like all big 12 level guards, and that they could score and create and shoot threes and stuff. For so many years, Kansas has had like guards that can also rebound, you know, like, I think about Frank Mason getting you four or five rebounds per game.

And sure, it's not. It's not the same Frank Mason getting four or five rebounds per game as Florida, but doing or Cole Aldridge or somebody getting double digit rebounds per game, but they add up and having guards that can go do that. Kansas really hit like when you're throwing out a lineup last year of Dewan Harris and Rylan Griffin at the two.

I mean, that's a combined what like three rebounds per game for the two of them, you know, so like, you're not really getting that added element and that one or two extra rebounds can be the difference in you being a more elite team. So I think it should manifest itself there. I think the size and the length part of this, I guess you would say the athleticism to stay in front of guys, but I think specifically the size and the length should lead to you having a good two point defense, right?

And again, kind of involved in that should be being a team who gets a lot of blocked shots. And that will help your two point defense. Kansas is actually pretty good at both of those last year, 33rd in block rate 21st and two point rate defense against them. I do think Kansas might be a little more prone to like the post up this year than they were a season ago. But then again, maybe Kansas just counters by doubling a little bit more and they force more turnovers off of it, right? But

I think Kansas is going to be good at both of those because of their athleticism and also recovery speed matters in some of that as well. I think the length specifically should lead to a lot of dunks and an efficient two point offense, right? I think that could be the name of the game for the KU offense outside of you know some stuff from I don't know Darren Peterson and some of your perimeter guards like it could be dunks dunks dunks and more dunks right Flory is going to

throw it out a bunch of dunks. Olympia is probably going to have a lot of dunks. You're going to get some of these wings and guards cutting to the rim that end up with dunks are in transition that lead to just that. I think kids going to get a lot of those at the end of the day here. I think the positional size that should be something that should allow KU to be a very switchable defense and as

much as you look at this past season and say well I mean Kansas actually finished 11th in the country in defensive efficiency on Ken palm their 20th year before so as much as the last two seasons haven't been great up to Bill Self and KU standards, they still had top 20 defenses both seasons and that was with a lot of our debates complaining, whatever you want to call it about what was Hunter Dickinson's defense and you know, I remained to say that like, okay, if you had a hunter in a

one on one in a post up like he was a good defender because he was just gigantic, where he ran into problems was teams that could space you out a little bit more. Now, not every team is going to be able to take advantage of that matchup. Here's the beauty of this Kansas team, though. I think last year's team in certain matchups could be a great defense. But there are other matchups where they couldn't. This year, I think they're more malleable. This year, I think they are more

malleable, the right word, pliable, maybe is the right word here. I think they're more flexible in what they can do. Like this year, I think no matter what the matchup that comes at them, I think they can figure out a way based on the lineup and who's playing to be good against that specific matchup. I think they have... So maybe in the overall numbers, they finished similarly, but you have a higher

floor game to game and what you could possibly be. I also do think it has a higher ceiling though on the defensive end than last year and the big reason why is for Paducah in the middle and then yeah, you do have a bunch of like perimeter size all over the floor. Basically, then you did you know this past season when even the guys who were like like with Rylan Griffin and AJ store their wing size at 6667. But both of them are known for like not being very good defenders, you know, Zeke Mayo has got good size for

guard 6465. But if you were saying what's one of more his weaknesses of the game would be the defensive end. This year, you're replacing that with like, okay, Melvin Council, who one of his strengths is the defensive end, Marco Jackson coming back from injury is a good defender, Jayden Dawson is a good defender. Trey White is a positive defender, right? So you just see it in a lot of ways in the positional size. It allows you to be switchable.

It allows you to be versatile as a defense. If you need to play two bigs, you can play, you know, Flory next to Bryson Tiller. You could play Flory next to Paul and be. I don't know how that would work on the offensive end, but you could do it if you had to in a specific matchup. You can play the Super Bowl switchable lineup where Flory's at the five. You can play the kind of drop coverage lineup where Paul and Bia is at the five.

You can just do a lot of different things on the defensive end. You can have somebody guard 94 feet with Elmarco or Melvin Council, maybe both of them, right? I think there's a lot of fun things Kansas and Bill Self are gonna be able to do on the defensive end of the floor that sometimes we think of the schematics and the play calling mostly on the offensive end. But there is a lot more schematics that goes into the defensive end than you might think. And I think Bill Self is going to definitely take advantage of that with this year's team. The athleticism, I think, should also lead to a better slashing team. Right. It should lead to more speed and quickness overall, which obviously is going to help defensively help you stay in front of guys. Guys, I think it's going to help create more chaos in passing lanes. Last

year's Kansas team was not good enforcing turnovers 286 in the country and turnover rate defense 253rd in the country and steel rate defense year before that they were 207th in the country in turnover rate defense and 103rd in the country in steel rate defense. But for so many years, Bill Self has, you know, maybe he's not been, you know, Bill Self or the Bob Huggins, excuse me, Press, Virginia, where they're just forcing an incredible amount of turnovers every game. But you go back to twenty twenty three, they were sixty fifth in the country in turnover rate defense. You look at some of his teams that that had guards that

could really pressure you and maybe his early tenure, right? That of 17 was 42nd in the country. The team was one hundred and fifteen. They've at least been above average, they've been solid at it. And they've gotten away from that last couple years. I think they'll get back to that this year, because of those things. And the slashing I think matters too, that I think Kansas is going to be harder to keep out of the lane this year. And I think that'll maybe open them up a little bit more because they'll have more drive and kick opportunities than the past couple of seasons. I also think, again, this is all one thing that athleticism and quickness, I think it's gonna show itself in dribble driving. And in general, like driving by your man, being able to create your own shot on offense a little bit more this year. And I would think that's also gonna help Kansas get to the free

throw line a lot more because that's an area that they were certainly one of the worst teams in the country a season ago and then obviously it should have lead to more transition play Kansas during Big 12 play last year was a below average team transition nationally scoring the basketball there they need to find more opportunities to get transition plan typically build self teams are great in transition I think they'll be able to do that this year based on their archetype the other parts of this is I also think ball handling right I mean you're gonna have certain lineups like there might be a lineup

that they go with Peterson, Omarco and Council for big minutes for Kansas. That's basically three guys who can play the point guard if you're Kansas. Even if you're throwing, you know, I mean, Jaden Dawson could handle it a little bit for a two for Loyola last year. Like there's just gonna be a lot of ball handling on the floor at all times for KU. And I think that's going to be a positive to calming you down, where it's not just one or two guys that can do it. It's like you have a bunch of guys that can kind of, you know, take it up or initiate the offense and do some of the chop play stuff that

Bilsoff has where it's like, who's gonna take it, who's gonna, you know, be initiating here. And I think Bilsoff is gonna have a lot of fun schematically with this roster and the kind of, and the flexibility that they're going to provide on both ends of the floor. I want to some areas though that could be weaknesses for this upcoming KU basketball roster that might hold them back of their potential ceiling and what they want to become this season. We'll get that next.

Thanks for joining us on this episode of Locked on Jayhawks. Don't forget you can make a Locked on College football or Locked on College basketball your second listen every day here. Okay, what are some of the weaknesses that could be around this KU basketball roster? Because I do think they're going to be better than they were last year. I think they're going to be better than they were two seasons ago. I guess you'd make the argument you know, when they were healthy with Kevin McColler, that's another argument that we don't need to make. Anyway, what are some of the weaknesses for this year's

team? I think the biggest one is going to be the three point shooting, right. And there's a chance this ends up being okay for Kansas if I'll Marco Jackson is much improved from three, you know, as a third year player, he was closer to 27% as a freshman. If he's closer to that this year, it gets a little difficult because then you'd be talking about Council, who's kind of a career like 29% three-point shooter. You'd be talking about Jackson, who if he's in the 20s from 3, you start to lose out on space. And obviously, Flory is not a shooter. Trey White can hit an open three here or there, but you know. But it's 32% right on low volume.

You start to have those questions. The flip side, though, Marco does kind of break out and have a 34%, 35% three point year. What if Council is up to 30, 31%? What if Darren Peterson is shooting really well from three? What if Jaden Dawson's giving you 36%, 37%, 38%? What if Colbert's are you is in the rotation and giving you some streaky shooting where there are certain games where he just kind

of can't miss, then it becomes more of just a OK, this is just you know, it's not necessarily something I would view as a strength, but it's not going to kill you either. That's kind of the range of where you're hoping to get if you're Kansas, like I don't ever think it's going to be like they're not going to be twenty eighteen Villanova. But can you just make it where it's not a weakness, where it's just kind of a it's just a thing like it's just something you do. You're not great at it. You're not going to be 2018 Villanova. But can you just make it where it's not a weakness, where it's just kind of a, it's

just a thing. Like it's just something you do. You're not great at it. You're not bad at it. It's just there, right? And then that allows your other strengths to kind of come to the forefront a little bit more. That'll be, I think, the goal for KU this season.

But that is a question that right now could be a little bit of a weakness for this team. And we had an episode yesterday, thank you for that, every day has already caught us, kind of comparing this team to how they've been built so far to maybe last year's Michigan State team that made it to the Elite Eight and the shooting is one of those things that maybe held Michigan State back from being a one seed maybe held them back from making a final four winning a national title right? I think kids can be better than that

team. Go back and watch that episode but you know, is it going to be good enough to make a final four win win a national title if you're Kansas, right? I think another area I look to as being a possible weakness is, OK, so they might be a better, like, all around ball handling team. And they were last season, like, as I was talking about, like you compare to last year's team and it's like, OK, Ryland Griffin's not really like a ball handler on last year's team on the wing. I know KJ Adams could dribble it a little bit in transition, but he's not really like a ball handler, right? You had to want Harris, he had Zeke May, he had diggie quite off the bench, like those are really your three

ball handlers that you played if you're Kansas, this year's team might start three next to each other at the same point in time with El Marco, Darren Peterson and Melvin Council, right? And so I look at it and say, Okay, I think there's more ball handling on this year's team all the way around. But I don't know if they're going to be as good of a passing team as they were last season. You look at it last year, they were 16th in the country in assist to field goal made rate.

Now that can be one of those a little bit seething numbers where it's like you want to have a high ratio of assist to made field goals because that tells you that you're sharing the rock well. That tells you that you're getting open looks for players and passing to them. But you almost don't want it to be too high. I think Kansas is in a range last year and really the year before where they were too high.

Again, 16th in the country in assist to field goal made right last year. They were first in the country in 2024. The reason you want to be good at it is again, you want to have a team that's sharing the ball and it's getting each other open looks. The reason you don't want to be elite at it is because if you're elite at it, that doesn't just tell you that you're, you're passing and getting open looks.

Sometimes it can tell a story of, oh, nobody can create their own shot. Nobody can create for themselves the only way we can score, the only way we can make a shot is if somebody else sets me up or passes me the ball. And that's a tough way to live on the offensive end, right? That's a tough way to live over and over, especially once you get to March Madness,

if you can never, like you to be able to do that stuff and play great team basketball all the time, you want that to be your identity. But there's going to be certain times where teams guard you really well. There's going to be times where teams scout you really well and they snuff it out and they know exactly what you're about to run.

And you have to have some dudes that can be a dude and go get their own bucket. OK, Kansas has that on this year's team. So that is something where it's a little bit misleading there. But again, you're talking about last year's team. That you know, the last couple years been really good passing teams like DeWan Harris, good passer, KJ Adams, good passers, Zeke Mayo was at least a solid passer. Hunter Dickinson was good passer

very good outlet passer for the big man spot. I don't know if they're gonna have as much passing overall, but they might not have to write because they do have more guys that can grade their own shop. But it is something that I wanted to, you know, talk about throw up here. The last one here is center foul trouble. Did you know Florida doing to average the same amount of fouls per game as Dickinson? And yes, Hunter Dickinson played more minutes by pretty sizable margin than before. But doing good did this past season, you

bring in Paul Mbiya and what's the rap on Paul Mbiya? It's that he's a very, you know, lengthy, long center who has a very high potential. But when you're talking about a center in Paul Mbiya who is kind of seen as being a little bit more of a raw prospect, what do raw center prospects typically do? They foul too much. So if you have a situation where Flory and Embiida are in foul trouble, then your only big remaining is Bryson Tiller, who's also a young big man who again, young big men tend to foul a little bit more. So that is the one big question for me. And that's why

as Kansas, you know, you still have an opportunity to maybe add another player, do you just try to add a body, another big man, right? Even if it's somebody who you don't really expect to play, or want to play, at least just give you another body out there. I don't know. Maybe that would be something that they'd be interested in if the right situation kind of arises or pops up to them. But that is one question that I have, like, can these guys stay out of foul trouble? At least, can one of them be good? I'm not saying you

need to be as good at it as Hunter did. But can you especially in the vein of like, okay, Hunter breads his butter by scoring and rebounding. And so you don't want him picking up those fouls. Whereas with Flory, he's breading his butter by rebounding and blocking shots and playing defense. So it's going to be more prone to possibly getting fouls like that. That is, I think one of the weaknesses or questions coming into this year's team for KU. What are some areas though that are that are to be

determined that I think it can maybe sway either way of are they going to be strength? Are they going to be weakness? We'll get to that next. This is locked on Jayhawks.

Thanks for joining us again on this episode of locked on Jayhawks and check out locked on college football as we get closer to the season we are I mean from this past Saturday, five weeks away from week zero.

So that means we're in closing on four weeks away from the start of the KU football season. I love that it's week zero, we get a little bit closer and get to fill that thirst for college football and KU football coming up a little closer. And don't forget, you can subscribe to the show here unlocked on Jayhawks. So you're catching up with everything leading up to the KU football season. Okay, what are some areas TBD to be determined? Are they going to be strengths?

Are they going to be weaknesses for this KU men's basketball team? The first would be post up scoring ability. Now, to be clear, this is not I know I've been comparing to last season, but that some of that is just for like reference point. I don't think they're going to be as good as post up scoring as they were last year. In fact, I feel very confident that the last two years teams are going to be better at post-up scoring than this Kansas team is. 100 against in is better at post-up scoring than anybody on this Kansas roster. I feel confident

in saying that. However, if we're just talking about in generalities compared to the rest of college of basketball this season, we're not comparing this year to last year. Will Kansas be at least an average post-up scoring team? I mean, for one, we know Bill Self still does wanna throw the ball in the post if he can, right? And I think that, as much as I think of Flory as mostly a guy who's gonna throw down dunks, there were some plays there, man, where you could throw in the ball on the block,

and you saw some of the athleticism, you saw some of the footwork, you saw some of the potential of him kind of working off a pivot foot and working under the rim and getting himself an easier layup, as opposed to having to take a hook shot. So I do think there's a little more there than maybe he gets credit for again, not saying he's going to be, you know, Morris twin or Hunter Dickinson. But can he at least

show a little bit something that Yeah, I do think that's the case. And again, Bill Self is going to want to go that way, if he possibly can. Paul and via, you know, maybe a little bit more of a raw prospect, but you watch some of his highlights like he's doing a lot of post up work. So that's going to kind of be a part of the game. And if Bryson Tillers in there, like that is what he is more known for being kind of a finesse big man who can face up and

can post up and do some different things there. So you could convince me that those players are all raw and it's not really going to be something KU uses. But I also definitely think it's something they're going to use more than like the 2023 team that was rotating like Ernest Duda and KJ Adams as center. I think it's going to be more than that. But it'll obviously be less than last two years. So that'll be kind of TBD. And mostly depend on a how

raw is Paul Mbea and be like how much improvement does Floyd Badoonga have over the offseason in that specific area. The other area TBD is experience playing together and I guess overall in college basketball, right? I mean, you're talking about bringing in what three new transfers you're talking about bringing in an international player in Columbia. You're talking about bringing on a bunch of freshmen with Darren Peterson and I guess

tillers been around the team but Cole Rosario like there's a lot of new faces into the Kansas basketball program that. They are going to. You have to kind of figure out how to play with each other, especially with the additions of Rosario and and be a being later in the game

where they're going to have to kind of do that on the fly a little bit more. So even the returning guys for KU like a Marco Jackson just missed the season. And how many of the guys on the current roster has a Marco even like been on the court with was he on the court at any point with Jamari McDowell, but it's like this McDowell can even be in the rotation for KU. He wasn't on the court when Flory was here

last year. So even though they're both returners, they've never actually played together in a real game with each other, right? Miss Calderon, Corbin tiller, those are both freshmen. So it's not a roster that has played, what, a single minute? I don't think any, that's crazy. KU has, yeah, because the returning players

are Flory, Elmarco, Jamari McDowell, and technically Bryson Tiller, but none of those guys, except for maybe Elmarco and Jamari McDowell, I'm sure they logged some sort of minutes together, but it's probably very limited, have played any minutes on the court next to each other so yeah That's something you can overcome that's more common nowadays in college basketball with the way that rosters move and change So much quicker now, but that will be a big question will that matter in any way for KU?

And then the last one I have here, which this one's TBD, are they missing having one more dude to be able to kind of create for you, especially somebody who can create and score, right? Like not having that Darian Williams not having that Domessa are not having that key Sean Hall, are they missing having one more guy where it's like, if you had that one more guy, it would open things even more up for Darren Peterson even more up for for for bedunga now teams can key even more on one of those players. Is that something they're missing?

Or does somebody step up where it's like, that is clearly KU's third best player or Mark Jackson is a breakout season. Melvin Council has his most efficient scoring season. Jaden Dawson shooting 40% from three. Whatever path it takes to get there, is Kansas able to overcome that? And it doesn't matter.
