Last peak offseason post, 6th Men of Bill Self era
-
-
Sherron Collins. As a sophomore he was a great 6th man throughout the season and came up big in our title run.
-
Remy Martin. Regional MOP off the bench! A slot below Collins because Martin didn’t do much in the regular season.
-
Sasha Kaun. Probably a 7th man technically but I felt I had to include him. Great backup big and saved our asses against Davidson.
-
Thomas Robinson. The year before he was an All-American, he came off the bench. Great bench player who helped us see little, if any, dropoff when a Morris twin had to sit.
-
Christian Braun (freshman). Came off the bench for our 2020 team and gave us some perimeter shooting that we really needed. Fairly mistake-free for a freshman as well.
-
Freshman Frank Mason III. Lots of ups and downs but showed signs of the special player he would grow into.
-
Freshman DaJuan Harris. Came off the bench as a freshman, wreaked havoc on the opposing offense and gave us a true point guard that that team probably should have played more.
-
Naadir Tharpe (sophomore year). I know he wasn’t a great starting point guard, but he made our team better by bringing some much needed ball-handing off the bench as a sophomore.
-
Flory Bidunga. Lots of potential and was our best player sometimes, but was also pushed around by stronger players in the most too much.
-
Jamari Traylor. Elite and versatile defender by his senior year. Never really developed any offensive skills.
-
Connor Teahan. His three-balls against misery make him a legend. That said, his shooting was very streaky overall and he wasn’t athletic enough to be a great defender.
-
Elmarko Jackson.
