Dayton Basketball: 2022-23 season preview for the Flyers

Quality over quantity on the Dayton bench

Last season Dayton went eight deep, but with Weaver leaving the only reserves that return are redshirt-sophomores Koby Brea and forward Mustapha Amzil. Brea is the team’s best three-point shooter, knocking down 42% of his 149 attempts last season. Amzil is a 6’9 forward who averaged 5.6 points and 4.1 rebounds, but the team was extremely efficient offensively when he was on the floor. According to Evanmiya.com Amzil was a part of the top four offensive efficient twosomes for the Flyers last season.

Adding to a young mix can be difficult without stifling the growth of what Dayton has built, but Grant has brought in two guys who can give the Flyers a different look. Tyrone Baker is a sophomore center who played in just three games at Georgia. Baker is an athletic big man who should benefit from playing alongside the likes of Holmes II and Camara.

The other newcomer is Mike Sharavjamts who made his way to Dayton all the way from Mongolia. Sharavjamts is a 6’8 guard with the length of a power forward and the ball handling of a point guard. It will be interesting to see how Grant deploys the freshman, allowing the Flyers to have many different looks when he is on the floor.
