Despite having one of the better wing duos in the nation, the poor ball-handling and frontcourt play turned the Big 12 juggernaut into a .500 team. The team improved on both ends, including the addition of the Mingo brothers. Kayden was good as a freshman at Penn State, while Dylan is a 5-star point guard prospect.Â
Decker, the high-profile wing transfer from Liberty, shot 47% from three-point range this past season. Celiscar is a skilled forward from Yale, while Bodo Bodo returns after missing all of last year with an injury. When healthy, he’s a quality shot-blocker and interior big man, something Baylor badly missed last year.
