Somewhere between 3 and 4 but probably closer to 4 this year.

If he plays any meaningful minutes he either had the greatest red shirt season of all time or something went terribly wrong with the season

Predict he will be 3rd or 4th off the bench.  As one player said to me recently , he is the best shooter and it’s not that close.

Guards: Trey Mier Eli Reggie

Wings: Woodson Deng Mara

Bigs: Amar Brain/George

That would put Kraft above 1 or 2 of these guys. With the guard depth we have it will definitely be tough for him to get minutes. I don’t see him playing this year, unless he’s taken a big step in this last year. Only a RS freshman so lots of time to continue to grow and develop as a player

Exactly what this team needs is a lights out, Matt Norman type shooter (in addition to Eaglestaff).

Which player is everyone most excited to see how they have developed from last year? Has to be Mara for me and guessing I won’t be alone there.

Not from last year, but George Natsvishvili intrigues me. Anyone know if he's been practicing? I thought someone said there were enrollment issues? Listed at 6' 10" on the roster (other places I keep seeing 6' 8"), left-handed, can handle and shoot the 3. He's 20 years old as well so not a typical freshman.

He’s a lefty too?! Damn isn’t that 3 with him, Woodson and Reggie?

Its a good sign that hes still on the roster at least, right?

I haven’t seem him in any of the practice pictures the team has posted. I haven’t watched any tape on him, will be interesting to see what his role is this year.

He got to campus August 31st and was enrolled and ready to go. I don’t know if it’s changed since then. He has a very intriguing skill set with his size. Always hard for me to judge the overseas guys because you never quite know the competition level

I think you might be right on Zach having a huge summer though. I talked to Mr Kraft at the football tailgate and he said its looking really good for Zach heading into this season. Excited for basketball season to start back up! Only 55 days till the season opener 

[sioux24/7]

Practice opened yesterday.

Maybe the most obvious but I’m excited to see what Treysen can do this year. I’m going to predict at least 4 30 point games from him this year. Hoping to see his play making improve as he had less than a 1:1 Assist to Turnover ratio last year

I hope to see him continue improvement on defense and string together games. He’s shown flashes of being a better than average defender but not consistently.
