Washington State
Projected Starters
Ike Iroegbu - Combo guard who may be forced to run point if the frosh aren't ready.
Que Johnson - Sophomore who struggled with injuries last year and still was 3rd on team in scoring.
DaVonte Lacy - Potential All-Pac-12 player who may lead the conference in scoring.
Junior Longrus - A solid defender who can do everything but score.
Jordan Railey - The 7 foot senior will be expected to improve upon his 3 ppg & 2.5 rpg.
If the Cougars end up in a half court slow down, it's going to be ugly. They have some great wings on the roster, but a lot of questions at the point guard and center positions. Ernie Kent wants his team to run, run and run some more. If they can get any production from the 1 & 5 positions, they may surprise a few people this year. Personally I loved the hire of Kent for the Cougars because it got him off of my TV. I have my questions about him (despite the fact he turned Oregon around previously), but you have to give Wazzu credit for going for the brave hire.
