As a Tennessee fan, it pains me to say this, but Memphis is title sleeper. They are ranked third in incoming freshmen behind Kentucky, and Andrew Wiggens.... I mean Kansas, of course. The Tigers have a promising squad this year.
Incoming Freshmen
Kuran Iverson, a 6'9 forward who is related to Allen Iverson, says he can play any position on the court. He has some great handles as well. Austin Nichols is a 6'8" PF who expects to run the pick and roll with guard Joe Jackson and Geron Johnson. Nick King is a 6'6 SF who can shoot and finish around the rim. These three players will help out Josh Pastner's squad.
Returning Starters*
PG Joe Jackson is a tremendous shooter and floor general who will run the Tigers offense well. SG Chris Crawford is a nice passer and shooter with a deadly three-point stroke. SF Geron Johnson has knocked down many threes in his career, and will continue to shoot at high level. C Shaq Goodwin is an inside presence who can finish around the rim and block shots.
* D.J. Stephens started at PF last year
Predictions
28- 8 ( 13-3 AAC)
2nd in AAC
