Episode Details

Kansas basketball’s center position is in flux as the season begins, with junior Paul Mbiya poised to start while transfer Christian Reeves remains sidelined from shoulder surgery. With no clear timeline for Reeves’ return and freshman Davion Adkins as the only other healthy option, the Jayhawks are thin at the big spot — a stark contrast to their recent history of dominant centers like Azubuike and Dickinson. The team’s decision not to match Flory Bidunga’s $5M NIL demand may have shifted focus toward guards, leaving them to rely on role players. But history shows Kansas doesn’t need a superstar down low — Landen Lucas proved you can win with grit, defense, and hustle. Coach Self now hopes Mbiya or Reeves can fill that exact mold.
