Tennessee Deep Dive: How many more abysmal football seasons must Vol fans endure before they fully lean into their identity as a basketball school? Well, they actually may be doing that already. I’ve written about this before, but I lived in Knoxville for four years, and during my final year there (2019), the palpable buzz surrounding the basketball program reached an all-time high. As their football team sputtered, Grant Williams and the crew ascended. That was a lovable team of unheralded hoopers who embraced the grind and epitomized what it meant to play together. And that group laid the groundwork for an burgeoning giant in the SEC. And like the accomplished 2019 squad, the strength of this year’s team dwells in the frontcourt. Senior Yves Pons will forever be the captain of the All-Weight Room Team, and he has morphed from an athletic enigma into the best all-around defensive player in the nation. Sometimes, the term “multi-positional defender” gets thrown around recklessly, but Pons can legitimately guard "1" through "5." The hybrid forward seamlessly switches onto the perimeter, matching up with dynamic lead guards. See the clip below, where he bests a potential pro in Andrew Nembhard: But he also forces his opponents out of the paint; last season, his interior presence lifted the Vols to the fifteenth best 2-point defense in the country. Pons has grown into a consummate shot-blocker (he led the SEC in swats in ‘19-’20), and he will take on any challenger. Even if he risks getting dunked on, he’ll still elevate to contest a shot at the rim. Redshirt-senior forward John Fulkerson slots in alongside Pons, and he serves as the ideal cohort. A season ago, Fulky erupted out of nowhere, increasing his scoring output from 3.7 points per game in 2019 to 13.9 points per game in 2020. Though he boasts no elite physical tools, he scores effectively out of iso in both the mid and high post. Something about his herky-jerky style gives opposing bigs fits. Sacred Heart transfer EJ Anosike, a rebounding fiend, and 4-star freshman forward Corey Walker will supply key minutes off the bench. In this quartet, Barnes may have the deepest frontcourt of his coaching career. But it’s not like his guards and wings are sluggards. In sophomore Josiah-Jordan James and freshmen Jaden Springer and Keon Johnson, the Vols tote three former five-star prospects who shine on the perimeter. Although James experienced an up-and-down freshman season, he still flashed some of the tools that earned him such high acclaim in high school--such as his one-dribble pull-ups and his secondary playmaking (2.9 assists per game, 15th highest assist rate in the SEC in ‘19-‘20). James’s next step entails improving as a slasher and learning how to take advantage of his 6’6” frame (only took 19% of his field-goal attempts at the rim, per hoop-math.com). Springer, on the other hand, looks awesome when attacking the basket. He couples a big, compact frame with phenomenal body control to both finish through traffic and adjust shots on the fly. Moreover, Springer possesses the lateral speed to find success immediately on the defensive end. Despite the lowest high school ranking of the group, Johnson offers the most upside. The 6’5” guard can play just about any position on the perimeter. On-ball, he uses his high-level IQ and court vision to set up his teammates, and off-ball, he needs only one dribble to flaunt his alien-like athleticism on ferocious dunks. A Draft Twitter Darling, Johnson likely earns a starting job from day one and could work his way into becoming a high-lottery selection. He’s also the bounciest dude to wear #45 since post-baseball MJ. Of course, every roster needs a savvy lead guard to initiate the offense, and that’s precisely what sophomore Santiago Vescovi provides. Last season, Vescovi faced the unenviable task of starting a basketball game a week after departing from his home country of Uruguay. But rather than faltering from a lack of practice and preparation, he turned in a “Linsanity”-esque performance; in his first collegiate contest versus LSU, Vescovi hit 6 threes and dished 4 assists...the Vols lost, and he turned the rock over 9 times (again, note the Linsanity comp), but he showed he could be the guard of the present and of future. In particular, Vescovi displayed some promise as a shot creator; he should improve as a shooter off the dribble in year two, due to his smooth lefty jumper and his ability to shake defenders. Equipped with an incredible feel for the game, Vescovi’s passing will buoy whatever strides he makes as a scorer. He especially loves getting into the teeth of the defense and throwing no-look dimes. Sure, his flashy style results in some turnovers, but the guy makes art on the basketball court. The Vols gush with talent, packing more than enough heat needed to recapture the offensive firepower of the 2019 team (who finished 3rd in both KenPom and Bart Torvik’s adjusted offensive efficiency metric). Few holes can be spotted on this roster, but they must demonstrate focus in taking care of the basketball and controlling the offensive glass--two traits common to Barnes’ most prolific teams. The athletes on the wing should be able to generate easy baskets in transition, and they can always get the ball into the paint in late-shot clock scenarios. Now, if just one out of Vescovi, Springer, or Johnson can materialize into a go-to scorer, Tennessee might just make their first Final Four in program history. TLDR: Projected starters: G - Santiago Vescovi (So.), G - Jaden Springer (Fr.), G/F - Keon Johnson (Fr.), F - Yves Pons (Sr.), F - John Fulkerson (RSr.) Projected bench: G - Josiah-Jordan James (So.), G - Victor Bailey (Jr.), F - EJ Anosike (Sr.), F - Corey Walker (Fr.), C - Uros Plavsic (RSo.) Strengths: frontcourt, interior defense, depth, shooting Weaknesses: turnovers Best player: Pons Breakout player: Johnson 4. Kansas Deep Dive: Quick summary of Kansas’ roster: Wings, wings, and more wings decorate this top-5 team. As noted in my West Virginia deep dive, Bill Self spurned two-big lineups for small ball back in 2016, and he hasn’t looked back since. This year’s Kansas squad fully personifies the philosophical shift, as the roster abounds with perimeter-oriented guards and forwards. Three of those guys, Ochai Agbaji, Tyon Grant-Foster, and Christian Braun, will consume the bulk of the available minutes at the “3” and the “4.” The junior Agabji checks in as the lone returning starter of this bunch. And though his stats don’t immediately grip your attention, his play indicates that he’s an ideal teammate. Agbaji doesn’t need the ball to impact the offense, exerts maximum effort on both ends of the floor, and is a springy two-footed leaper (he’s an absolute savant going backdoor for alley-oops). Now a seasoned vet, he will also provide valuable mentorship to the newcomers. Of the rookie Jayhawks, Grant-Foster elicits Pavlovian-type responses from Kansas fans any time his name comes up. The top JuCo prospect amazes viewers with his blend of size and shot-creation; Grant-Foster rarely uses more than two dribbles to get to his spots on the floor, where he then rises above defenders to drain shots off the bounce. With his 6’7” frame and 7-foot wingspan, he also has the length to bother shots and turn deflections into turnovers. But Grant-Foster will have to outwork the up-and-coming Braun if he wants to secure a starting job for the whole season. Despite falling outside the top-100 of the class of 2019, Braun carved out a role for the loaded Jayhawks last season. His wet trey ball distinguishes him from the other wings, and he flaunts better rebounding and athleticism than you’d expect from a guy with a frat swoop. Finally, two former top-50 recruits (Tristan Enaruna and Jalen Wilson) solidify this unit as the deepest in the country. The sophomore Enaruna only played 10 minutes a game last year, and a broken ankle squelched the redshirt-freshman Wilson’s season before it even began; but both flashed potential as slashers and shooters at the high school level. However, even with all these versatile wings, the Jayhawks still face a sizable challenge: replacing two All-Americans in Udoka Azubuike and Devon Dotson. Self has a little more clarity on Azubuike’s successor: junior David McCormack has fared admirably as a complementary piece throughout his career, and he looks primed for a breakout in a featured role. Though he’s not quite the Leviathan that Big Dok was, he is still a chiseled giant. And like his forerunner, he conquers his opponents by establishing deep post position, then dunking just about everything. McCormack also scores a chunk of his baskets off of put-backs--on his second bounce, he launches off the court so quickly. Don’t be surprised if you see him post 15 and 10 averages this season. But replicating Dotson’s two-way production...now that’s a bit more daunting. The prevailing notion out of Lawrence assumes that junior Marcus Garrett will step into the lead guard slot. A 6’5” jack-of-all-trades, Garrett has verified himself as the nation’s best perimeter defender. His active hands swing momentum at a moment’s notice; a lazy pass or a loose handle quickly becomes his prey, oftentimes resulting in a run-out for Kansas. On the other side of the ball, Garrett competently facilitates the offense, and he blends his passing acumen with superb court awareness. Observe the clip below, where Baylor ices him on what (I guess) they thought would be a ball-screen: He knows exactly where the open man will be, and he sends a dime right into Isaiah Moss’s shooting motion. Now, keep in mind, I’m higher on Kansas than consensus, but I must acknowledge a slight hangup: questions linger regarding Garrett’s shot. While he finds little trouble driving to the hoop off the dribble, he has yet to prove that he can sink pull-up jumpers. Last season, Garret made just four unassisted three-pointers. Compare that to 16 for Dotson in 2020, 54 for Devonte’ Graham in 2018, and 36 for Frank Mason in 2017 (info per hoop-math.com). While Garrett undoubtedly has received neither the opportunity nor the green light afforded to the other three, his career averages of 28% from beyond the arc and 57% from the foul line make me skeptical that he can reach those heights. However, here’s the counterpoint: Self doesn’t necessarily need Garrett to function as a dynamic scorer with the talent he has on the rest of the team (take 2014, for example, where the Jayhawks obtained a 2-seed with the nondescript Naadir Tharpe running the point while Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid starred). Plus, the next heat-seeking Kansas guard may already be on the roster. Bryce Thompson, a McDonald’s All-American out of Tulsa, profiles as a nutty shotmaker. He taunts defenders with his jab step and nasty crossover, demonstrating proficiency at creating separation. Though Thompson’s slight frame could hinder him against Big 12 competition, he still has the chops to score in bunches during his first year. Finally, Kansas will frighten their foes with a menacing defense. They might not rank second in the nation again, but they will excel at deterring their challengers from the paint. McCormack’s ability to play drop coverage against pick-and-roll eradicates looks at the basket, while the combination of Garrett, Agbaji, and Grant-Foster on the perimeter is like Kyler Murray in fantasy: matchup-proof. The Big 12 will give way to vicious battles among its top tier, but Kansas has a fantastic chance to repeat as conference champions. And the goal won’t end there--the disappointment of last season’s cancellation will fuel them on their quest to cut them nets (and cash them checks--sorry, had to). TLDR: Projected starters: G - Marcus Garrett (Sr.), G - Bryce Thompson (Fr.), G/F - Ochai Agbaji (Jr.), F - Tyon Grant-Foster (Jr.), C - David McCormack (Jr.) Projected bench: G/F - Christian Braun (So.), G - DaJuan Harris (So.), F - Tristan Enaruna (So.), F - Jalen Wilson (RFr.), F - Mitch Lightfoot (RSr.) Strengths: depth at the wing, well-rounded defense, rebounding, versatility on offense Weaknesses: three-point shooting is a question mark, Garrett’s adjustment to full-time point guard duties Best player: Garrett Breakout player: McCormack 3. Baylor Deep Dive: **all analytics/metrics come from Bart Torvik, unless otherwise noted** I think I owe the Baylor Bears an apology. Last preseason, I called them a “whole wheat bread” type of team--i.e. solid but super boring and bland. Most of my grievances stemmed from their ugly and inefficient guard play over the years. I had hope in Jared Butler, believing he alone could cleanse the Baylor of their backcourt sins. But Scott Drew upped the ante and unleashed two more vigorous guards to shine alongside him. Butler and his two running mates, MaCio Teague and Davion Mitchell, propelled the Bears to a number 1 ranking, which they held for five weeks, and to their highest finish on KenPom (3rd) and Bart Torvik (2nd) in Drew’s career. With all three returning, and a postseason definitely (?) happening, a transcendent season hovers on the horizon. Butler, the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, operates as the centerpiece of Baylor’s offense. Since he first stepped foot on campus, he has scored effortlessly from all over the court--but he elevated his shotmaking to new heights last season. Butler torches defenders with twitchy change-of-direction speed, and he shows off deft footwork on sidestep and stepback jumpers. Whether he storms to the basket or launches from distance, he gives Drew a trustworthy iso scorer late in the game. Butler also showed growth as a facilitator last season, increasing his assist rate while lowering his turnover rate. But the pressure doesn’t fall solely upon him for ballhandling duties--that’s where Mitchell steps in. Last season, the redshirt-junior split time with Butler as the primary initiator and led the Bears in assists (114, 3.8 per game). Teague, a redshirt-senior completes the trio, and he flourishes as the no. 2 next to Butler. After struggling with his shot through the first half of conference play (23% from three through the first seven games), he caught fire when the calendar turned to February (42% through the last nine games). Teague has some unorthodox shot mechanics, but he can bury three-pointers in a variety of ways--his shooting out of dribble hand-offs, off of screens, and on spot-ups serves as an essential component of the offense. In the frontcourt, Baylor has a guy whose game meshes perfectly with Butler, Mitchell, and Teague. Senior Mark Vital runs the floor with fury, punctuating transition possessions with booming dunks. In the halfcourt, he makes intelligent passes out of the post, and his relentlessness on the boards empowered Baylor to be the 8th best offensive rebounding team in the country. But the Bears’ real power emanates from their defense, where Mitchell and Vital, in particular, eclipse their competition. The former emerged as a top-flight guard-stopper a year ago; Mitchell uses his quick, fluid hips to cut off driving lanes when guarding the ballhandler, and he displays incredible timing and instincts in help-side defense. The brawny Vital can both bang in the post and stick with guards away from the basket. His switchability transformed the Baylor defense into an impenetrable fortress. Drew garnered praise for switching from a zone scheme to a “no-middle” strategy last season. The linked video from Jordan Sperber details an exhaustive analysis, but in case you don’t watch it, here’s the summary: Baylor seeks to force the ball towards the sideline or the baseline to take away the lane (“the middle”) and limit their opponents’ shots at the basket. This concept succeeds because of the Bears’ speedy, rangy, and determined athletes; when the opposing team moves the ball, they swiftly rotate to the open man, whether that be a big rolling to the hoop or a shooter open in the corner. The head coach’s defensive about-face paid dividends--Baylor pressured teams into shooting long-2s at the 4th highest rate in the country while holding teams to the 11th lowest rate of close-2s. And for good measure, they also ranked 22nd nationally in defensive turnover rate. The Bears have positioned themselves well to replicate these numbers--but one obstacle remains: someone on the roster must fill the void left by Freddie Gillespie. The former D-3 hooper exploded in his second season in Waco, evolving into an elite rim protector. With an imposing 7’5” wingspan, he turned points in the paint into a rare commodity. But he also had decent enough foot speed to contest shots on the perimeter. Drew will hope that one out of freshman Dain Dainja, redshirt-sophomore Jonathan Tchamwa-Tchatchoua, and junior Flo Thamba can hold down the starting “5” spot. This will be the biggest storyline of Baylor’s season as all three--despite having incredible names--are all unproven. Dainja, a top-100 recruit, fits a more offensively-minded profile. Tchamwa-Tchatchoua has vertical pop that strikes you with awe, but he was mostly inefficient as a freshman at UNLV. That leaves Thamba, a physical specimen who has been marinating for two years, as the most likely candidate. Still, even amid these uncertainties, Drew has proved he can develop big men, and I trust that one from this group will become serviceable, at the very least. TLDR: Projected starters: G - Jared Butler (Jr.), G - Davion Mitchell (RJr.), G - MaCio Teague (RSr.), F - Mark Vital (RSr.), F/C - Flo Thamba (Jr.) Projected bench: F - Matthew Mayer (Fr.), G - Adam Flagler (RSo.), G - LJ Cryer (Fr.), F - Dain Dainja (Fr.), F/C - Jonathan Tchamwa-Tchatchoua (RSo.) Strengths: defense, forcing turnovers, guard play Weaknesses: unproven depth, no surefire NBA talent Best player: Butler Breakout player: Thamba 2. Villanova Deep Dive: If you’re reading this, chances are that you grieved the loss of the 2020 NCAA Tournament--the buzzer-beaters, the Cinderella stories, the Bill Raftery calls, the media beating at least one storyline to death, the “One Shining Moment” montage--I could go on and on and on. But there’s one occurrence that I bet you forgot. Had the Big Dance occurred this year, we would have certainly seen some commemoration of the fifth anniversary of this: Yep, that happened half a decade ago. Mark Gottfried beat Jay Wright in an NCAA Tournament game--I REPEAT, MARK GOTTFRIED BEAT JAY WRIGHT IN AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME. It’s crazy how much can change in such a short amount of time. Since March of 2015, Wright has won two titles and been included in numerous NBA coaching rumors; heck, even in “down” years, his teams still win a share of the Big East and send a coupla guys to the League. And this season projects to be anything but a down year. Wright retains a roster full of proven veterans and high-upside sophomores. Even in a stacked Big East, call Villanova the Karving Kings, because they’re a cut above the rest. It all starts with the offense. Wright tells his players to let ‘em fly, as they always rank top-30 in three-point rate. And for good reason--the Wildcats incinerate defenses with quality shooters at nearly every position. Senior Collin Gillespie will spearhead the attack, after blooming into a sensational lead guard last year. I doubted Gillespie last preseason, downplaying his ability to impact the game without a electric shot creator next to him. But he obliterated my now-freezing-cold take, sinking trey balls off the dribble, creating open looks for his teammates, and finishing top-20 in the Big East in both offensive rating and usage rate. He’ll build off of 2020 and push for an All-American team this year. Alongside Gillespie, Wright will unbridle the next great Villanova wing in sophomore Justin Moore. After enrolling at ‘Nova as a fringe top-50 recruit, Moore shattered expectations last year, earning Big East Freshman of the Week recognition on five separate occasions. He buries threes off of flare screens and dribble-hand-offs, but he can also take his man into the post. Moore has a good chance to follow in the footsteps of guys like Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Mikal Bridges; but who will fill the other spots on the perimeter? Senior Jermaine Samuels has started for the better part of two seasons, and he provides flexibility, able to man the “3” or the “4” positions. His role will hinge on who plays more between Tulane transfer Caleb Daniels and junior Cole Swider. Daniels, a 6’4” guard, flourished as a high-usage player for the Green Wave two seasons ago. The only problem--Tulane was dreadful, winning just 4 games during his final year there. Nonetheless, Wright loves multi-faceted scorers who can play on or off-ball and can make smart passes; Daniels fits that billing. If the head coach opts for a bigger lineup, he can slide Swider in without sacrificing an iota of floor spacing. The 6’9” forward embodies the exact type of prospect that Wright succeeds with--four-star, multi-year guys with pure shooting strokes that can develop into All-Conference-level starters (and NBA draft picks in some cases). Swider doesn’t shy away from attacking close-outs, but his quick-trigger three-point jumper is the key to unlocking his potential. I know it came against Middle Tennessee State, but it’s easy to envision these types of highlights becoming more ordinary for him. Regardless of which lineup Wright trots out, he can lean on a stallion at the “5.” For all of Gillespie and Moore’s offensive prowess, sophomore Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's upside spurs Villanova to my number 2 ranking. Following a solid freshman season, the former five-star recruit will launch into stardom in year two. He already has range out to the three-point line, and he boasts advanced perimeter skills for someone his size. In the rebounding department, JRE hunts loose balls with a dogged intensity, and his surgical playmaking opens up the offense for his teammates. In 2020, Robinson-Earl posted the third-highest assist rate of any big man in the conference. I’m led to believe his selfless attitude rubbed off on his teammates, as their team assist rate ranked 58th nationally. Going off of that, get used to seeing this lil’ handoff action with JRE, because Villanova will run it a million times this season: So there ya have it. Perhaps the tears of the Villanova flute girl watered the seed that sprouted into an emerging Blue Blood. The Wildcats show hardly any flaws, and they have a coach who’s probably fed up with hearing about the coronation of Chris Beard and Tony Bennett for the last year and a half. Even though the sports world suffers from short-term memory loss, Wright is the one who has won two titles in three years. And now, opportunity knocks for him to secure his fourth in six. TLDR: Projected starters: G - Collin Gillespie (Sr.), G - Justin Moore (So.), F - Jermaine Samuels (Sr.), F - Cole Swider (Jr.), F - Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Projected bench: G - Caleb Daniels (RJr.), F - Brandon Slater (Jr.), F/C - Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree (Sr.), hopefully G - Bryan Antoine (So.) at some point. Strengths: offense, offense, offense--mainly spacing, shooting, IQ, and passing. So everything. Weaknesses: depth is a little shaky, but that’s about it Best player: Gillespie or Robinson-Earl Breakout player: Moore 1. Gonzaga Deep Dive: Well, we’ve reached the summit. For those who have read every deep dive, I sincerely thank you. The Zags are my number 1 team with a bullet, and I’m out of ideas for clever little intros, so let’s jump right into it: Mark Few has constructed an empire in Spokane that only gained mainstream acclaim when he made his first Final Four in 2017. Well, it’s past time to give him his respect, and his squad should be thinking National Championship or bust this season. Gonzaga’s roster overflows with talented players--but it’s not just their pedigree that induces such optimism from me. It’s also their fit in Few’s system; he has a player at every position who thrives at the different skills that his coaching blueprint prioritizes. For the first example, direct your attention to the post. Here are Gonzaga’s national rankings in 2-point field goal percentage over the last five years: 3rd, 1st, 5th, 7th, 16th, and 2nd. Pounding the ball inside fuels the Zags’ offense, and this year will be no different. Sophomore Drew Timme steps into the limelight, and he will seize the opportunity to expose opposing big men all over the country. The 6’10” Timme finished the season on a rampage, averaging 11 points and 5 boards off the bench during February and March. In Gonzaga’s final game of the season, the WCC championship versus Saint Mary’s, he paraded the finesse and the touch that make his post game so special. For proof, watch the smooth left-handed finish over the Gaels: In transition, he functions as an optimal rim-rummer, and he even has a little grab-and-go ability; perhaps Few lets him channel his inner Rui Hachimura and gives him some freedom to lead the break. The rest of the Zags will feed off of Timme’s energy--he’ll pop his jersey, flex after dunks, yell after blocking a shot, and engage in all the typical antics that attract haters to a player (I’m here for it though). Next to Timme, Few can turn to former top-50 recruit Anton Watson or the colossal redshirt-freshman Oumar Ballo. Watson missed the bulk of last season with a shoulder injury, but as a forward who’s more inclined to play on the perimeter, his game complements Timme’s nicely. He also demonstrated quality defensive instincts in the fifteen games that he played as a freshman. If the head coach elects to go with a supersized lineup, Ballo and his 7’6” wingspan will deliver the goods; this is likely a more situational pairing though. And there’s one more once-esteemed recruit bringing depth to the frontcourt. Sophomore Pavel Zakharov, out of Montverde by way of Russia, logged only 4.5 minutes per game last season, but the 7-footer exhibits masterful body control in driving to the hoop and running the floor. Plus he’s an international kid, so you know Few will succeed with him. Top-notch three-point shooting is another staple of Gonzaga’s offense, and they deploy one of the best shooters in the country. Senior Corey Kispert pulls with icy confidence from all over the court; he dominates as a movement shooter, needing only a sliver of time to square his shoulders after running off screens. The 6’7” forward has increased both his total made threes and his three-point percentage in every year that he’s been at Gonzaga (78 total, 43.8% from beyond the arc in ‘19-‘20). That total number could surpass 100 this season. Finally, Gonzaga boasts three stud guards that push the pace up to speeds that few teams can match. In three of the last four seasons, the Zags have ranked top-75 nationally in tempo, and that trend will continue this season. In redshirt-junior Joel Ayayi and freshman Jalen Suggs, Few possesses a starting backcourt of two hyper-athletic guards who already work well off of each other. (I know that highlight is from a team scrimmage, but come on, how can that not excite you?) The Frenchman Ayayi provides a little bit of everything--the above clip highlights his passing, but he also rebounds well for his position and harasses opposing ballhandlers with tight defense. Suggs comes to Gonzaga as the highest-ranked recruit in program history (11th in the 247Sports Recruiting Composite), and he drips with NBA potential. Once a high school quarterback, Suggs showcases exquisite vision, flashing live-dribble passes to the corner off of either hand. He plays the lead guard position with an unrivaled ferocity, pulling-up from distance and attacking off the bounce. The play below shows off his insane bounce and motor: Gonzaga has long put the “THEY AIN’T PLAYED NOBODY” notion to bed (just look at this year's non-conference schedule ...they want all the smoke), and they will reign supreme from the first tip. Though the Tournament always brings randomness and uncertainty, I would be very surprised if the Zags are not the last team standing. TLDR: Projected starters: G - Jalen Suggs (Fr.), G - Joel Ayayi (RJr.), F - Corey Kispert (Sr.), F - Anton Watson (So.), F - Drew Timme (So.) Projected bench: G - Andrew Nembhard (Jr.), G - Aaron Cook (RSr.), C - Oumar Ballo (RFr.), F/C - Pavel Zakharov (So.) Strengths: shooting, post play, guard play, depth, coaching, everything Weaknesses: None. This claim is not disputed, or whatever that meme is. Best player: Timme or Kispert Breakout player: Timme or Suggs
