 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas coach Bill Self is going to ask his players to spend time in the weight room and come back bigger and stronger next year. But first, like everyone else connected with the program, he has to know who's coming back.
Just two days after UCLA ousted the top-seeded Jayhawks 68-55 in the regional finals, Self said he was planning to sit down with players being mentioned as possible first-round NBA picks and carefully plot what would be in their own best interests.
Sophomore Brandon Rush, who led the Jayhawks in scoring in a 33-5 season that included Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships, is most often mentioned as a possible early NBA entry. The others, including sophomores Julian Wright and Mario Chalmers, have said they are definitely planning to return for their junior year.
