14. Kansas State Wildcats: Selton Miguel

After finishing the season last in the Big 12, Coach Bruce Weber is essentially trying to start over by securing a total of seven commitments from the 2020 class. A major contributor to their 3-15 conference record was that they were unable to make a shot. At just above 41 percent, the Wildcats had the worst field goal percentage in the conference accompanied by the second-worst three-point percentage.

A major culprit in the shooting woes was senior and leading scorer Xavier Sneed. Sneed shot 36 percent from the field for the season, a lot of that has to do with the success from beyond the arc. The struggles he experienced while shooting 30 percent on six threes per game is indicative of how difficult it was for Kansas State Basketball to get quality shots.

The player who is set to replace the 6’5, 215 pound Sneed, is Selton Miguel, number 98 on the national ranking system. At 6’4 and 195 pounds, Miguel is an energy guy in the backcourt, who was never afraid to shoot in high school. Shooting the ball was just once responsibility he had at West Oaks Academy as he also played down low on their two-three trapping zone.

While it was noticeable that staying in front of the ball was more difficult, there is no concern that Miguel will lower the conference’s worst shooting percentage.
