Maryland Basketball: 2022-23 season preview and outlook for Terrapins

Key Reserves

Forward – Patrick Emilien (Graduate)

Emilien joins the Terrapins as a graduate transfer from St. Francis (NY) after averaging 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds last season. He likely won’t be very effective stretching the floor, but he should be one of the first frontcourt players off the bench and may even play some minutes at the five.

Wing – Ike Cornish (Freshman)

Cornish is a former top-100 recruit who redshirted last season. With good length at 6’6″, he can impact the game on both ends and should get his chance to prove it as one of the first players off the bench in 2022-23.

Guard – Jahari Long (Junior)

Jahari Long followed Kevin Willard over from Seton Hall. He was expected to play a larger role for the Pirates as a sophomore before suffering a season-ending knee injury after five games. Thus the 6’5″ guard has seen limited game action in his two years of college basketball, but he will have the opportunity to play his way into a backup role with Maryland.

Guard – Ian Martinez (Junior)

After transferring in from Utah ahead of last season, Martinez was expected to be a spark plug for the Terps with his athleticism and scoring. He was relatively disappointing, putting up just 2.8 points per game on subpar efficiency. The junior will look to bounce back and have a larger impact this time around.

Wing – Noah Batchelor (Freshman)

A three-star recruit from IMG Academy, Batchelor projects to be a catch-and-shoot threat on the wing. Beyond his knockdown shooting from three, his athleticism allows him to function as a slasher who can finish above the rim. Overall, Batchelor is a high-IQ, toolsy player with potential to develop into a very important piece for Maryland down the line. He’ll certainly have the opportunity to get his feet wet as a freshman.

Forward – Pavlo Dziuba (Junior)

A 6’8″ Ukranian forward, Dziuba transferred to Maryland from Arizona State last year but only played 33 total minutes. He will likely find himself towards the end of the bench this season, but it’s possible he hears his name called a little more than expected to help alleviate the depth issue in the frontcourt.

Center – Caelum Swanton-Rodger (Freshman)

Canadian big Caelum Swanton-Rodger is a bit of an unknown quantity for the Terps. He will see little of the floor this year, but Willard and his staff are optimistic that he has the tools to enter the frontcourt rotation in future seasons.

Forward – Arnaud Revaz (Junior)

Swiss international Arnaud Revaz has played 19 minutes in his two seasons at Maryland. Barring injuries, he will probably be the odd man out of the rotation down low.

Guard – Brett Karkus (Sophomore)

A walk-on, Karkus will only see the floor in event of a blowout. However, he’s become known as the pregame hype man with his unique handshakes and uplifting presence.
