Georgetown Basketball: 2019-20 season preview for Hoyas
By Brian Rauf
Key reserves
Jagan Mosely
Mosely, a 6-3 guard, does have some starting experience (28 games in his career) and is a solid secondary playmaker. Behind Akinjo last year, he averaged 2.2 assists and just 0.8 turnovers per game. Now a senior, he will be the third guard in the rotation and will provide a steadying, experienced hand off the bench.
Jahvon Blair
Another 6-3 guard, Blair came off the bench in every game last season and provided some shooting in his 12.5 minutes per game. Though he only shot 34.4 percent from three, he averaged a made three per game – important for a team that ranked 211th in the country in the amount of points they got from behind the arc. He’ll play the sharpshooter role again.
Qudus Wahab
Georgetown’s recruiting class consists of four three-star recruits, three of whom are big men and none of whom are rated higher than Wahab. He’ll play a big role defensively for the Hoyas right away. I give a full breakdown of what Wahab can bring to the table here.
Myron Gardner
Another freshman, Gardner will probably see minimal playing time but is another athletic wing player at 6-6 and 185 pounds. He’ll fill some time when both Pickett and LeBlanc need a rest.
Malcolm Wilson/Timothy Igohoefe
Georgetown is going to play bigger this year (despite their lack of size at guard) and that means one of these 6-11 freshmen will see at least a little big of playing time. Wilson is extremely athletic and will probably be played in short spurts for his energy. Igohoefe is more of a project. A member of Africa’s NBA Academy, he measured a 7-7.5 wingspan, an 8-11 standing reach, and a 10-11 one-step vertical at the 2018 NBA G-League Player Invitational. Ewing may put him on the court simply for his size and shot-blocking.
