Opportunity awaits KU's Landen Lucas during World University Games

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Landen Lucas can see the opportunity that lies ahead not only for himself but for his team. And he plans on making the most of it.

Despite the fact that KU brought in highly-touted freshmen Carlton Bragg and Cheick Diallo, the 6-foot-10, 240-pound junior forward is looking for a bigger role this season.

“Offensively I’ve always been a type of guy who knows where to catch the ball and how to catch the ball in position to score, Lucas said. “Right now I’m just working on becoming more of a threat with the basketball — to drive or score.
