Kansas Basketball: Evaluating Devon Dotson’s decision to be a Jayhawk

Dotson’s explosive play will be difficult to defend

If you happened to thoroughly read my projected returnees on the previous slide, you may have realized the abundance of point guards on the 2018 roster.

Marcus Garrett, transfer Charlie Moore, and walk-on Chris Teahan all are true point guards, and will  be battling for the point guard number one job after losing the beloved Devonte’ Graham.

From a talent standpoint, Dotson easily has the win over the other point guards, but Bill Self has been known to take his time with highly talented recruits.

Also, assuming the Jayhawks haul in Quentin Grimes, along with Dotson – the Jayhawks will more than likely have heavy competition throughout the guard position, which of course, is not a bad issue to have, whatsoever.

The only problem this could possibly create would be the idea of one of these Jayhawks transferring away from Lawrence to seek a more defined role elsewhere.

Dotson will be one of the most exciting guards to watch in college basketball in 2018.

But from Dotson’s standpoint – the young talent will only get quicker, and will be able to get around most guards in the country, and create his own shots, just as he did in high school.

He will spread out the floor with his soft stroke from beyond the arc, yet also find his open teammates for the easier shots when open.

It is currently hard to tell exactly how he will help the team in 2018 – but I am 100% positive in some way, shape, or form – Dotson will be one of the most exciting guards to watch in college basketball in 2018.
