Profile:
Bynum is a top 5 prospect in the 2021 class. The junior is an aggressive scoring guard that can flat out get buckets in a hurry! What you have to like about his game is how he can rip of a stretch of 8-10 points in a couple minute stretch. That is what intrigues programs at the next level. Range on his three point shot and is tough when he puts his head down and gets to the rim.
Odds to Win:
40/1
Why He Can Win:
Simeon has the name recognition and Bynum is the top prospect on their team. They play a schedule that is daunting and if he leads this team in scoring like we expect him to along with being a key reason the Wolverines improve on their regular season record from last year he will be in the hunt!
Obstacles to Win:
Bynum is teammates with another player we already profiled in Jeremiah Williams. They will split the high scoring games throughout the season. Also as we have mentioned before it is difficult for juniors to win this award.
