This is Medcalf's take on Devonte

Devonte' Graham, Kansas Jayhawks
When Frank Mason III, the Wooden Award winner last season, played for Kansas, the Jayhawks committed turnovers on 16.9 percent of their possessions and 24.1 percent of their possessions when he was on the bench, per hooplens.com. They made just 50.8 percent of their free throws and scored 0.95 points per possession with Mason sidelined, too.

You won't find a player who made a greater impact for a contender in 2017-18. Now, Graham will accept the role of catalyst for a Kansas team that could establish a new record with 14 consecutive conference titles while competing for Bill Self's second national title.

"Frank obviously had an unbelievable year, but Devonte' deferred to Frank quite a bit and to be able to be the face of [our] team next year really excites him," Self told the Lawrence Journal-World after Graham announced his return.

Is Graham ready for the role? The senior clearly possesses the ability to carry Kansas with the help of a strong roster and erase any memories of his 0-for-7 performance against Oregon in the Elite Eight.
