7. Kerwin Roach Jr., Texas

Kerwin Roach Jr. has seen his production grow at a gradual rate as he approaches his senior season. He produced double figures in points per game for the first time in his career this past season with the Texas Longhorns. After making the NCAA Tournament in 2017-18, he returns with experience behind him looking to do the same.

Roach put up 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game during his junior season. After shooting just 28.4 percent from 3-point range during the 2016-17 season, he improved his percentage to 36.4 from behind the arc in 2017-18.

He put up a career-high 26 points on 6-of-10 shooting from 3-point range in their first-round loss to the Nevada Wolfpack. Roach will be looking to pick up where left off after an early exit in the NCAA Tournament. He’ll also have Matt Coleman to rely on in the backcourt.
