As the players you mentioned. MPJ will be the go to scorer on the team.
Then Barnett, Puryear, Phillips and Robertson have all proven to at least be capable college scorers.
Jontay can make a huge impact by playing good defense, blocking some shots, he's a great passer, and when he's open is a very good shooter.
Harris is probably a defensive upgrade over all 3 of Geist, Phillips and Robertson. He can defend and be a distributor on offense.

- 9/20 09:50:10

Its not what people think, its what they hope - FIJItiger MU

- 9/20 09:56:19

I see Roberts and Harris getting few minutes. Jury - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/20 10:20:01

Robertson will be far more important than Harris or Roberts(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:03:22

There's too much buzz about Harris for him to only - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 10:23:14

I'm a little skeptical. Lot of buzz about Wright, Teki, and - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/20 10:36:46

Those are all examples of players who played large fr roles(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/20 12:05:19

All those guys u listed play a ton for freshmen(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:11:48

Yeah out of sheer desperation. Only need to now if they're - Diamond Dave MU

We'll have a mix of experience and youth this year(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:48:59

Even if we had the same awful roster back I would expect - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:50:42

Its pretty difficult to not win at least 15 games in a year(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/20 12:06:57

Harris and Jontay won't be forced into the same roles - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 10:55:21

Harris is a big PG and has some rise in him too - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:12:56

Throw it DOWN - Uncle John MU

Waltonitis(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:41:41

in probably a broken record on this but roles matter - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 11:28:35

ISU isn't going to be down so much that wouldn't put us - FIJItiger MU

- 9/20 09:40:57

Barnett is good, Phillips is okay. The other 2 suck (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 09:31:09

Puryear is our best returning asset - FIJItiger MU

- 9/20 09:52:26

Barnett is easily our best returner. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:01:24

Agree, Feej is dumb on that topic(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:18:22

Among many others (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:26:56

I enjoy being wrong from time to time - FIJItiger MU

Wrong(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 12:13:06

Puryear had 1 of the best offseasons on the team - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 10:25:12

He lacks the athleticism to play on the perimeter. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:02:49

with shot blockers in the lane, players like Puryear - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 11:30:30

He dropped 15 lbs, doesn't need to be super athletic(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:10:58

He does to guard and he's far from a sharpshooter (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:13:23

Puryear with some combination of - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/20 14:07:09

Dropping 15 lbs will help with that, along with zone D - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 11:15:32

We'll see (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 11:26:33

Suck is a bit harsh, both will be good role players for us - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/20 09:49:32

Puryear doesn't suck. With the right talent around him - Diamond Dave MU

In comparison to who? (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 9/20 09:34:25
