Devonte only Jayhawk on the list, while Keegan speculates that Malik will be Big 12 player of the year.

Sounds about right. Graham and Newman are likely to be the stars on this team.

Well, I certainly hope he is! However, while I think he will put up good stats this upcoming season, I am hesitant to label him a 1st team AA. Prove me wrong, Devonte!!!

Malik is not getting much love nationally; hopefully it places a gigantic chip on his shoulder and goes on to have a monster season along with Devonte and the rest of the team.

@JayHawkFanToo Malik was the highest rated guy on the team when he started college. He is going to be a huge points manufacturer. He was stunk in a horrible offense at MSU and had to essentially create his own shot every possession. Look for him to surprise everyone except us. I expect him to blow my mind every game. He has swagger and is a prototypical KU combo guard. Oh man I have been waiting so long to see Malik in a KU uni. This is going to be badass

@JayHawkFanToo Newman is a case of outta sight, outta mind.

The less pressure on Newman, the better. I want him playing with a free mind.

Udoka is gonna be a Monster. He will absolutely get national attention.

@Lulufulu I agree. He is going to be a problem for every team we face. Inside outside balance should be good next year - thats what made last year's Gonzaga and Unc teams tough. Teams couldnt take away an area because it would present huge problems elsewhere.

Congrats, Devonte!
