Backup shooting guard: Teyvon Myers

Teyvon Myers played sparingly last year, but a new guard is needed in the primary rotation without Jaysean Paige. The senior from Brooklyn has as good of a chance as any to get more minutes in the rotation.

The 6’2″, 170 pound shooting guard averaged just 2.4 points in 8.6 minutes a game. None of his offensive stats indicate a player primed for big production, but a year in the system potentially gives him a leg up on any freshman competition.

13-17 minutes with 3-6 points a night seems about right for what could be the fourth guard in the stable.

Next: Utility guard - Chase Harler
