What to Expect: This team packs more punch in the paint this season and should have more talented prospects. The twin towers of fellow 6’8 big men Desmond Bassent and Giles Jones will be huge. But expect newcomer and D1 recruit Bryce Williams to spearhead the attack.
Players to Watch: Bryce Williams is the catalyst. He’s a speedy combo guard with a sure fire trigger and a competitive fire to match. He can lock up the other team’s best player and oozes confidence. Williams displays explosive drives to the basket and gets to his spots.
Giles Jones is a versatile post player that can run the floor. He also carries a solid set of post moves.
Trayvon Gildon is a pass first point guard and a lockdown defender.
