How fun. This dude could literally be anything. He could be something that takes a while to happen (Svi). He could be something that never happens (Enaruna). He sure seems to be built like and play a bit like Christian Braun.

Of course Braun’s BBIQ was elite-elite, and was apparent right away. So that’s a harsh comp to throw on a kid.

Let's hope he doesn't pretend to throw a boomerang like Braun an arrow his freshman year.

If he does that, odds are strong that he ends up a top 10 all time hawk for me.

I'd hate it.
I'm sure most KU fans would love it.
Give me cool Tim Duncan over shimmy three goggles mouth piece Steph Curry.

So does Johnny crack the rotation and whose minutes does he take?

We don't really have much depth when it comes to the front court. There is a path for furphy to get minutes. We basically have mccullar/kj/Dickinson, who will all play a ton. But backing them up?We don't really have a back up forward. Parker Braun is basically the only back up big.

We have a ton of guard depth tho. Young guys that are super talented

It might be tempting to pull the redshirt from Clemence. He looks improved. Furphy definitely can score. Defense, as is usual with Bill Self, will probably determine playing time for all the potential depth players.
