Carlton Bragg

Self likely selling Bragg as a 4, rotating with Ellis.

The bigger issue is the reality of Svi as a 6'7" wing and a junior-level Seldon. If Brown joins all that, Kansas is loaded next year. Alas, I can't see Brown being overjoyed competing with Svi and Bragg for minutes. No matter how Self sells it, there will be times Bragg plays the three, and times Svi plays the three. Both are potential future lottery picks.

Plus They have Green.
 
If brown goes to Kansas I may shoot myself in the face to make sure this isn't a nightmare.
 
Most all of these teams has a better offensive scheme than we do. I would love to hear what these other coaches tell these kids about our school vs . concentrating on their own teams..Diallo has not shown that he can create his own shot. You don't get run outs all night long in college ball like you do in a high school all star game. That said I would still like to have had him..No clue whats going on with this group of kids.
 
Bragg will play the 4 if that happens, he may anyway. If anything I think Ellis comes off the bench and Bragg and Diallo start cause both will be better than Ellis. Kansas will be really good with a lot of depth. They'll lineup like this

Mason
Selden
Bragg
Ellis
Diallo

Off the bench they'll have Graham, Green, Traylor, and the foreign kid who I think's going to be really good. He or Green might end up starting at the 3.
 
And their point guard play looks incredible. Can't wait to see those great KU guards throwing lobs to those great KU bigs.

Based on his play this year, you think Svi is a potential lottery pick? I don't see it.
 
Brown not going to KU. he's going to Michigan or UK , probably UM.

This literally was posted 1000x about Diallo except substitute UM for StJ's.

I'm not saying that Brown will or won't, but so many people around here act like they're in total disbelief and can't fathom x or y 5☆ recruit not picking UK. Absurdly foolish.

Self is selling him on being the next Wiggins.

Bragg, Ellis, and Diallo will get most of the minutes at the 4 and 5. Traylor will see limited minutes.

The rest of those guys are role players and no threat to Brown's minutes.

Brown gets all the minutes he wants at the 3.

Mason at the 1. Selden at the 2. Graham, Svi, or Green battle for the backup spot on the perimeter.
 
Bill Self is not the greatest bench coach but he rivals Cal and K as recruiters.

False. He was awfully exposed when the NCAA run off the Pump brothers who funneled recruits to Kansas. After that Kansas recruiting was bad a few years then came along a new assistant & a new aggressive approach by Adidas

What kind of player is Bragg? Is he a one and done type?

Seems like KU has about ten Power Forwards on that roster. Not sure how Self will manage all the egos. Lord knows he's not a Zenmaster like Phil Jackson.
