Minnesota Golden Gophers- Kyan Evans 4 PPG UNC Isaac Asuma 10.9-4 Bobby Durkin 10.2 PPG Jaylen Crocker-Johnson 13.4-6.8 Malick Kordel Redshirt Michigan G Malachi Palmer 4.6 PPG Villanova F Grayson Grove 4-3.2 G Nolan Groves 1.1-.9 Texas Tech G Kai Shinholster 1.8 PPG F Chadrack Mpoyi FR F Nolen Anderson FR G Winters Grady RFR Michigan Niko Medved in year 2, the Gophers showed good flashes last season but were hindered by injuries. Asuma, Durkin, Crocker-Johnson all are key guys back. Crocker-Johnson is so fun to watch as an elite jumbo shooter. Durkin another knock down shooter. Asuma a lead guard who is very experienced. Grayson Grove also comes back and is a typical Niko big who will come off the bench. The 2 X-Factors for this team will be Kyan Evans & Malick Kordel. Evans had a down year at UNC but was very good in Nikos system 2 years ago and I think he will get back to that. Kordel didn't play at Michigan last season, but is a massive body who I've heard good things about in the offseason. Palmer & Groves both come over from P5 programs. Palmer will be a positive offensive player and a guy who can add a big spark off the bench. Groves is a grindy type of player that will add to the depth. Shinholster had to play more than expected last season due to injury but showed some flashes in year 1. Then Mpoyi, Anderson, & Grady were all touted recruits who can add depth. I think this is a sleeper P5 team that could really surprise people this year.
