Kansas basketball head coach Bill Self expects Johnny Furphy to make an instant impact in the Jayhawks rotation this upcoming season.

Johnny Furphy was the final piece of the puzzle for the exceptional offseason Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks have had. The 6-foot-8, 200 lbs Australian phenom, who dazzled scouts at the NBA Academy Games, committed this week and could be a terrific player at KU.

Considering Kansas is the anticipated preseason No. 1 team, one might figure that an international prospect who just burst onto the scene would have trouble finding minutes.
