The senior is a human eraser in the paint and led the nation in block rate as a junior.

Despite his up and down play, senior point guard Kihei Clark should help integrate these new pieces, while sophomores Reece Beekman and Kadin Shedrick are primed for breakout second years.
The roster is unlike any other Bennett team, and will take time to mesh especially in the Wahoo system. Whaley will serve as the anchor of the defense, and should once again be one of the best defenders in the country with his athleticism and shot blocking prowess. Martin and Jackson should provide plenty of pressure in the backcourt, and the emergence of Jackson on both ends, plus an extremely talented freshman class, could take this team from a Big East contender to one that could make yet another deep NCAA tournament run.
The Bonnies success is based on its defense. They finished the season ranked in the top of six defensive KenPom categories, giving up over 70 points only three times last season.
Player-wise, their small-large combo is one of the best in the nation, as big man Osun Osunniyi and guard Kyle Lofton are both on preseason award watch lists for their positions. This is the first time the Bonnies have been ranked since January of where they made the Final Four. For Auburn fans and fans of other SEC teams, this is going to be a team that looks nothing like the ones that Bruce Pearl has trotted out over the past few seasons. Returnees are few, and one of the main pieces of last season Allen Flanigan is going to be sidelined with an injury at least until SEC play.
Nearly everyone this year is a new recruit or a transfer, and of the starting five from the exhibition Friday night, only Devan Cambridge was even on the squad last year. In the backcourt, Auburn has a few more options, with the combination of Jasper and Green coming in from other schools to man the guard spots, and Cambridge will bring a load of experience to help tie things together.
This Maryland team is filled with depth and experience. The Terps are returning senior guard Eric Ayala who started in all but one game last season. Ayala was named to the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award watch list earlier this fall and is expected to be a leader for this team.
Maryland is also returning the junior duo of forward Donta Scott and guard Hakim Hart. Both started in a majority of games during the season, and Scott picked up a spot on the Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award watch list. Both Russell and Wahab are expected to make an immediate impact on this team.
Between players who have been with the Terps for multiple seasons and additions from veteran players from the transfer portal, Maryland has no shortage of players with NCAA experience which may prove valuable in a talented Big Ten conference. Blue chip recruits Matthew Cleveland and Jalen Warley will both play early and often, but the best newcomer just might be Houston transfer Caleb Mills. Meanwhile, upper classmen Malik Osborne, Anthony Polite, and Rayquan Evans bring shooting, defense, and an understanding of what it takes to win in March.
With Davis as the head coach, UNC will be switching to a more modern offensive scheme, and with that there will be a lot of changes when it comes to what to expect from this team. Now that there will be a lot more spacing on the floor, it should give room for key players to do more damage in the paint. The catch? They will have to knock down shots from the perimeter much better than they have the last couple of seasons, or else the whole plan goes down in flames.
Not only do these players have the versatility that Davis is looking for in his new system, but they were all very good players for their former teams. Brady Manek is a big from Oklahoma that can shoot the lights out from the perimeter, as well as get the job done in the paint. Finally, Justin McCoy is a high-energy player that transferred from the Virginia Cavaliers, and he is expected to provide a huge spark off of the bench.
Transfers aside, the Heels return Kerwin Walton, Armando Bacot, and Caleb Love, who are all expected to be big-time players for this team. RJ Davis is also a player worth noting, as he looked spectacular in the exhibition game against Elizabeth City State University. I expect the Heels to surprise a lot of people, and they are a legitimate threat in the ACC.
Chandler is will run the show in Knoxville this season, joining a nice veteran core of John Fulkerson, Josiah-Jordan James and others. Chandler should fix the first issue, while Auburn transfer Justin Powell should fix the other. These Volunteers have a ton of pieces to work with and should once again be a threat to win the SEC.
Liddell, F Kyle Young. There is no team-changing prospect such as John Wall or Anthony Davis, but this group of newcomers has a baseline of college production already established. Tshiebwe, Grady, Frederick and Wheeler already have experienced individual success, and all but Wheeler have been on successful teams. The backcourt is loaded like few others, but the challenge will be keeping opponents away from the rim — which was a huge problem even with Robinson-Earl.
