SEC Basketball: Top 25 returning players for 2019-20 season

20. Anfernee McLemore | Auburn | F | Senior |

Anfernee McLemore was a starting forward on the Auburn team that danced all the way to the Final Four last season. He is a physical force down low, allowing Auburn’s frontcourt to be feared by just about anyone in the conference. He averaged 6.7 ppg last season, and 7.4 ppg in 2017-18.

His contributions to Auburn’s success go way beyond the scope of offensive ability, but he will definitely have more of an impact on offense in 2019-20. He is one of the better forwards in the SEC and he will shine in his senior season.

19. Rayshaun Hammonds | Georgia | F | Junior |

Rayshaun Hammonds will be very important in allowing Georgia to be more competitive in the SEC in 2019-20. With Anthony Edwards coming in to provide a boost for the Georgia backcourt, Hammonds will step up to lead the frontcourt and allow Georgia to be more threatening all around.

As a sophomore in 2018-19, Hammonds played in 2018 games, averaging 24.3 minutes in each contest. In that amount of time per game, he averaged 12.1 ppg. His role will be even larger this year and he will be a solid scoring force in the SEC.
