Reshuffling the Deck
With four starters gone, Kansas hopes it's dealt a winning hand
By Mark Button Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams sits quietly at the poker table and stares at the dealer across from him.
He peers at the five cards in his hand. Reluctantly, he places four of them face down on the table.
"I need four," Williams says.
The dealer frowns and pauses for a second.
"So, you have an ace?" the dealer asks.
"Excuse me?" Williams responds.
"You can only get four cards if you have an ace," the dealer says.
Williams smiles knowingly and says nothing. The dealer tosses him four new cards.
Discarded from last year's Final Four team are guards Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan, center Eric Pauley and forward Darrin Hancock. They were all starters. They are all gone. They took with them 55 percent of the scoring,40 percent of the rebounds and, in the case of Walters, Jordan and Pauley,100 percent of the leadership.
