Starting Lineup

Devin Cannady

While Cook and Weisz may have dominated the headlines for the team, Cannady was just as good as them. He contributed 13.4 ppg and 3.6 rpg. His shooting ability was the best in the Ivy. He shot 40% from deep (No. 1 in the Ivy) and his 90% free throw percentage was also best in the conference.

Amir Bell

Primarily a bench player last season, Bell operates as a 3-and-D player. He’ll switch on defense with Cannady to guard the opposing ball handler because of his 160 pounds, but nonetheless is a quality defender.

Miles Stephens

The other senior guard along with Cannady, Stephens was statistically the third-best defender in the Ivy with a defensive rating of 95.9. His offense isn’t bad either, adding 12.5 ppg.

Sebastian Much

Ranked at No. 399 by 247sports, Much committed last October, picking the Tigers over programs such as Utah.

Will Gladson

The 6’10 center played around 10 minutes per game last season. This time around, he’ll be asked to play and contribute a lot more.

Judging by the roster, the guards will be the catalyst for this team. It’s not a necessity that the frontcourt players be scorers, but with several quality post players around the Ivy League, these guys will need to be competent defenders. Otherwise, it’ll be a glaring weakness.
