22. Missouri
Projected starters: Anthony Robinson, Sebastian Mack, Trent Pierce, Mark Mitchell, Jevon Porter (transfer)
Notable returners: Trent Burns, TO Barrett, Peyton Marshall
Other newcomers: Luke Northweather (transfer), Aaron Rowe, Nicholas Randall
This might be a tad low for the Tigers, maybe a product of recency bias from their one-and-done tourney exit. It’s entirely possible Anthony Robinson turns into an absolute star as a junior, and I really like Sebastian Mack in the Tony Perkins role. The wild card is, what kind of productivity do the Tigers get out of the center position. Jevon Porter, who becomes the third Porter brother to play for the Tigers, was an efficient scorer on a middle-of-the-pack WCC team, but he can shoot the 3.
Trent Burns, who is 7-foot-5 and redshirted this past year, can also shoot the 3 and Mizzou staff is excited about his potential, but he looks like a strong wind could take him down. Then there’s Peyton Marshall, a 7-footer on the other end of the weight spectrum who couldn’t crack the rotation as a freshman. The Tigers could play small with Mark Mitchell at the five, but the best SEC teams have been big up front, and Mizzou could have one of the tallest teams in the country if those centers are playable.
