'Proven college shooter' Vick could help KU's outside attack; Aldrich cut by Wolves

Lagerald Vick’s return to Kansas' basketball team — on paper at least — may alleviate possible concern about the 2018-19 Jayhawks’ unproven perimeter shooting.

KU coach Bill Self announced on Friday night that the 6-foot-5 Vick, who cashed 59 of 158 three-pointers last season for 37.3 percent, would return to KU for his senior year instead of pursuing overseas or NBA G-League opportunities.

“I don’t think by any stretch he is a specialist (as he can also drive), but he is a proven college shooter, there’s no question about that,” Self told The Star on Friday.

Vick — who hit 13 threes in KU’s last six games of 2017-18 — converted 48.
