In a season that is going to be defined by uncertainty, Kansas is still trying to find its identity. It’s understandable as we’re only two games into the season and its two All-American-level players are no longer on the team.
This is what happens, especially at a blue blood program that has to retool every year—the team you watch in November (and in this season’s case, early December) is not the team you will see in March. Teams can grow and develop a ton over the course of 20+ games and four months. Remember, last year KU started the season with a loss to Duke that featured 26 turnovers and Udoka Azubuike only scoring eight points on four shot attempts.
