Here's what the author had to say about HCBS:

Bill Self, Kansas Jayhawks

Defining quality: Talent continuity. Self always has a veteran who seems as if he has been around forever. This season that role is being filled by Devonte' Graham, of course. Before Graham, there was Frank Mason III, and before Mason there was Perry Ellis and so on. Even with the old guys, though, Kansas customarily has a one-and-done-track star, too. (Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre, Joel Embiid, etc. This season is the exception to that rule.) It's this blend of experience with, very often, the very top of the mountain in terms of freshman talent that has enabled Self to capture an amazing 14 consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles.

Weakness: Rebounding. Mind you, it's a weakness this season and not across Self's career, but it is a big performance liability right now. The Jayhawks ranked No. 10 in the league in defensive rebound percentage during Big 12 play.
