With the 2022 NBA Finals set, it’s official that one former Kansas basketball player will be winning a world championship in the next couple of weeks. Golden State forward Andrew Wiggins will have the most to say about which one it is. Wiggins, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft after a standout season at KU in 2013-14, has been one of the Warriors’ best players this postseason. Golden ...
What started as a three-headed monster of potential Kansas transfer targets is now down to one. Texas Tech’s Kevin McCullar Jr. is coming to Kansas if he pulls out of the draft.
