Agbaji, who will be in his third year of eligibility next season, broke down his choice to return in a KU athletics release.“I looked into the NBA and was given some great feedback on ways I can be a better basketball player,” Agbaji said. He shot 44.9 percent from the field and 30.7 percent from 3.“I believe Ochai could have been drafted but there are some things he knows he still needs to improve on,” Self said. Bill Self compares Agbaji to Kansas City Jayhawk Travis Releford (2009-13) who played in 138 career games and was a two-year starter while at KU. He needs to be all in, every game, to get to the next level.Article could of been written about every player with eligibility left, not sure why anyone thought there was a closed door decision on this?It's a new world Adam. Doke and Dot were our guys this year and other than a game here or there, because of the way this team played together and was built..... Ochai wasn't needed to carry a big scoring load. He also was listed as the No. While the Jayhawks ended the year as the No. Even when Garrett was on the floor Ochai still normally guarded one of their better players. Not saying the leading scorer always gets to the NBA, but there are alot of guys his size all over the country. Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., announced Tuesday afternoon that he planned to return to KU for his junior season instead of … From there, Agbaji averaged 25.8 minutes per game, posting 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per contest. Did you notice often times if Garrett wasn't on the floor he had to defend their scorers? And yes the I have no idea why the Jay Villas’ of the world think he’s an early to mid 2nd round pick.

Ochai is better than some of you think he is. The ability and potential is there......the consistency is not. Returning is absolutely the correct decision.Where in hell was he gonna go? Returning to Kansas and taking on a bigger role during the 2020-21 season — as both a scorer and a leader — should pave the way for him to improve on both of those rankings.

Otherwise, I love the kid.There should be lots of competition for minutes next year, whether it be in the form of Coach wanting to use 2 bigs and reducing the wing minutes or just the abundance of wings. And they get really excited about these returning player announcements. Good chance Ochai eats up 8-9 of that.

He never reached the expectations that came from his first few games last year. He also averaged 1.2 steals in 33.3 minutes per contest.Many of those statistical totals increased from Agbaji's freshman year, one in which he only played 22 games. Marcus does as well, and Prison Mitch is back for his 5th year. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. McCormack most likely has a big junior season as well. 18 ppg would be a surprise to me.I'd say that he and Garrett probably both up their averages by 5 or so points, McCormack by up to 10 pts, and don't forget about Jalen Wilson.He's is a fine young man, but NBA after the past year, no way. It's become a tradition in the past 5 years or so for star players to make an announcement video via social media if they are returning for the next year.
