3. Baylor Bears
Previous: 3
Tristan Clark will be one of the bigger keys to the 2020-21 national championship race, as a return to form for the Baylor big man would give the Bears a huge lift in the frontcourt. When he suffered a season-ending injury in January 2019, he was Baylor's second-leading scorer and leading the nation in field goal percentage at 73.7%. Clark returned last season but wasn't anywhere close to his pre-injury self. He started six of the first eight games of the campaign, then saw an inconsistent role for the rest of the season, scoring in double figures once and shooting less than 50% from the field. Scott Drew's team is once again going to be carried by its elite perimeter group (assuming Jared Butler and MaCio Teague) return, but the Bears will need some interior balance and a replacement for Freddie Gillespie. If it isn't Clark, other options include freshman Dain Dainja, UNLV transfer Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua and returnee Flo Thamba.
Projected starting lineup:
Jared Butler (16.0 PPG, 3.1 APG)
Davion Mitchell (9.9 PPG, 3.8 APG)
MaCio Teague (13.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG)
Mark Vital (6.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG)
Tristan Clark (4.0 PPG, 2.4 RPG)

Thanks for posting. Without closure last year, this season can. It come fast enough. I do wonder it COVID will shutter it all together. Hopefully football goes smoothly so we can stay optimistic.

Basketball is mostly after the election so expect things to go fine.

Does Drew like adding players with the hardest names to spell and pronounce - kudos to the announcers next year calling our games.
