Todd DeHaven is a training camp warrior. I remember him absolutely owning a camp session his first year; now, he's a fully-evolved, Blue/Blue player, the second such player
Graham Sims has coached (
Hubert Song was the other).
Tim Hutchinson and
Jack Senn are now Green players, and Senn possesses Blue potential as he enters his senior season.
Three starters return from last year's Final Four team. Senior
Daniel Warnock is a reigning two-time Patriot League Player of the Year. The AI keeps trying to push him out of the starting lineup, but I won't have any of it. I am, however, going to switch him to the PF spot. He's got the post defense to make it work.
Todd DeHaven will be the starting center. A redshirt junior, Todd is the most complete big man we've had here since
James Sanders. This summer's mock drafts project him to go undrafted, so hopefully this means we'll have Todd's services for two more years.
6'6"
Tim Hutchinson is big and strong enough to handle the small forward role. He'll still be able to make use of the Grade A jump shot that is his most lethal offensive weapon.
The new Lafayette backcourt will feature senior
Jack Senn and junior
Jamie Kelso.
Senn will be promoted from the sixth man role, where he's demonstrated the ability to produce points in a hurry. Like Hutchinson, Senn features an outstanding shooting touch, although he's more of a spot-up shooter than Hutchinson, who is developing into a three-level scorer.
Kelso is the distributor who will be counted on to make the four scoring threats happy. He's an excellent ball handler and passer who has been clamoring for playing time. He'll get the first shot at locking down the point guard position, but freshman
Ben Miele is waiting in the wings.
Miele and shooting guard
Matthew Ackerman will be the first players off Coach Sims' bench as the season begins. Ackerman is a sophomore from England who looked promising in limited playing time last season.
Another first year player,
Matt Robles, should be a key part of the rotation this season.
Rob Prendergast,
Jonathan Baldwin, and
Rodney Lundgren will hopefully get the time they need to develop this season.
