The Knights were the biggest positive surprise in the Big 12 last season but lost just about everyone, unless Stillwell gets a waiver from the NCAA for another year. The hope is that Lewis can give them a boost as a potential lead scorer, while Bol will have to become the next lead big man after solid production in the frontcourt.Â
The x-factor on this roster is Johnson, one of the top scorers in the country off the bench in the WAC, including 42 points against Big 12 program, Baylor. He averaged just 2.8 ppg in 8.5 mpg two years ago at UCF in his first go-around. What will be his role with the Knights next year and how important will Johnson be?
