Though K.J. Lawson was ineligible to play in regular-season games for Kansas last season, he still considers the past few months to be time well spent.
"You sit out ... people don't fall in love with the game any more than that," Lawson said earlier this week at Washburn coach Brett Ballard's camp in Topeka. "Practicing and just watching people compete, you just fall back in love with it."
Lawson, a 6-foot-8, 205-pound transfer from Memphis, admits that he enjoyed going through KU's workouts a year ago, saying he "loved going against those guys that got their name called" in the NBA Draft.
