When long-time college basketball reporter Andy Katz ranked teams following the NBA Draft decision deadline, Kansas still had work to do.

Sure, the Jayhawks received some great news when Devon Dotson elected to return, on the heels of a surprising decision by Udoka Azubuike not to test the NBA Draft’s waters, and Kansas received an eligible Silvio De Sousa to boot. But the feeling was that the Jayhawks were still incomplete, with Katz picking Kansas at No. 8, and second in the Big 12 to Texas Tech (No. 5).

In particular, Kansas needed to go out and get the kind of shooting that could stretch the court for its potential two-big lineups, with De Sousa figuring to slot in next to Azubuike and David McCormack, at least at times. On that front, the Jayhawks made the most of their next few weeks, flying up Katz’s rankings to No. 2, behind only national title favorite Michigan State.

“The addition of Iowa transfer guard Isaiah Moss and former Michigan commit Jalen Wilson moved the Jayhawks up to No. 2,” Katz wrote for NCAA.com, “and they’ll stay there for now.”

Moss would seem to be the bigger immediate piece, by virtue of his primary skill: outside shooting. He made 42.1 percent fo his 3-pointers last year, including a 3-for-5 night from deep with 16 points, five rebounds and two steals in Iowa’s season-ending overtime loss to Tennessee.

In fact, Moss was one of the nation’s truly elite shooters, averaging 1.413 points per possession on spot-up attempts, per Synergy, ranking him in the nation’s 99th percentile. That was ninth-best among all players in the nation with at least 50 spot-up attempts, and tops among all major conference players.

But while Moss, a graduate transfer with one season remaining, could be the biggest get for the 2019-20 season, where he should battle Marcus Garrett for a starting spot on the wing (and play starter-type minutes even should Garrett win that battle), Wilson could have the biggest future impact. A 39 percent three-point shooter during his senior year of high school, Wilson is a three-level scorer with terrific size; at a recent Kansas scrimmage he appeared to be roughly the same size as power forward Mitch Lightfoot, who was listed at 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds. That wouldn’t be a huge shock, as Wilson himself was listed at 6-8 215 in the 247Sports database.

Wilson also brings versatility at that size. He’s traditionally played more of a wing role, but said after the scrimmage that he’s more than willing to play the four if he needs to at Kansas. And as the No. 50 overall player in the 247Sports Composite, he stands as the highest-ranked recruit in a class that includes some intriguing talent for the future in likely multi-year standouts Tristan Enaruna, Issac McBride and Christian Braun.

Moss and Wilson won’t be expected to star for the 2019-20 Jayhawks, but both could be high-level role players on a roster that returns two players likely to be picked as preseason first-team All-Big 12 in Dotson and Azubuike, a sophomore who appeared to make a major leap forward in Ochai Agbaji and difference-making big men in De Sousa and McCormack. And that entire package looks like one of the nation’s best teams.
