Lagerald Vick thinks he’s pinpointed what it will take to earn a spot in the starting lineup in his junior year at Kansas.
“Just focus on basketball and school … have blinders on,” Vick, a 6-foot-5, 175-pound combo guard from Memphis said before practice on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.
“I can’t let things off the court and on the court affect what I came to Kansas to do,” added Vick in stating he came to KU “for a degree and also to become an NBA star.”
KU coach Bill Self — who started Vick six times and had him come off the bench in 30 games during the 2016-17 season — said he was leaning toward starting Vick for a second straight exhibition game with Devonté Graham, Svi Mykhailiuk, Malik Newman and Udoka Azubuike on Tuesday against Pittsburg State.
