Kansas basketball saw two of its players drafted Thursday. Ochai Agbaji went to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Christian Braun went to the Denver Nuggets.

Agbaji and Braun may have spent four and three years in college, respectively, but Self doesn’t think there’s any truth to the notion that means there isn’t room for them to improve substantially. And with (Agbaji), we thought the entire time, at least he and his agent, was in that 12-to-16 range and he fell right there. Wilson, who won a national championship with Agbaji and Braun this past season and returned to Kansas for another year, exhibited a level of joy that was unmistakable. The other, followed the Denver Nuggets selecting Christian Braun with the 21st pick of the first round. This is the first time Kansas has seen multiple players picked in the same NBA draft since 2018, when Devonte' Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk both went in the second round. One, followed the Cleveland Cavaliers selecting Ochai Agbaji with the 14th pick of the first round.

Christian Braun was selected 21st overall by the Denver Nuggets in last night's 2022 NBA Draft, but it was his mother, Lisa, who stole the show.

“This is what you always want for your kid or any athlete, and I think that the team as a whole have done that. “I’m ecstatic at the fact that he continues to grow and improve,” Lisa said. While there, she earned All-Big Eight honors three times and was later awarded a spot in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Don, Lisa’s husband, attributes much of Braun’s success to his mother’s illustrious career.

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self has always been big on how players fit with teams, styles, personnel and philosophies. That's what made his review of the ...

Agbaji said Friday that he was not worried about what position the Cavs wanted him to play because his plan would be the same regardless. It also turned them into legitimate draft assets and future NBA players that Self believes will have the same type of impact on their pro franchises that they had on Kansas. And he added that they would not limit where Agbaji can play on the floor. When we watched him play, it was his ability to move and catch and shoot off of screens, off of handoffs, where he knew how to make himself difficult to guard."
