Kansas junior power forward Dedric Lawson downplays talk that he’s been perhaps the Jayhawks’ most impressive player in practice and pickup games the past two months.
“Nah, I mean I just make plays when I get it (the basketball). Whoever gets it makes the best play for the next player,” said Lawson, KU’s 6-foot-9, 235-pound All-America candidate from Memphis.
The former Memphis Tiger, who averaged 19.2 points and 9.9 boards per game as a sophomore in 2016-17, will be eligible to play this season after practicing at KU but not playing in games last season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.
