ASU Basketball: How the roster stands today post-defection edition

by ASUBoyd on Apr 22, 2010 3:13 AM MST

ASU has 13 scholarships to offer basketball players. Here is where we stand --

Ty Abbott, senior, 6-3, guard.
Rihards Kuksiks, senior, 6-6, forward.
Jamelle McMillan, senior, 6-2, guard.
Brandon Dunson, junior, 6-2, guard.
Trent Lockett, sophomore, 6-4, guard.
Ruslan Pateev, sophomore, 7-0, center.
Victor Rudd, sophomore, 6-7, forward.
Jordan Bachynski, freshman, 7-2, center.
Corey Hawkins, freshman, 6-2, guard.
Keala King, freshman, 6-5, guard.
Chanse Creekmur, freshman, 6-7 forward.

Note: Kuksiks is considering playing professionally in Europe next season

So, there seems to be 2 spots open. As the roster stands now... I like it. Two 7 footers, some midsized players, a number of guards..hopefully Kuksiks doesn't leave for Europe.

I'd like if we added 6'8 McCombs, and Royce Williams. The roster looks good though, despite the departures of Walker and Co.

Thoughts?

Comparable - We lost some useful pieces in Walker, Rohde and Thompson...but King, Hawkins and Creekmur can replace them.

Worse - Walker was the next LeBron when he was 13!

Can't decide until I see how the final roster shakes out

I was excited for Walker when I first heard we got him, then watched him play and was disappointed. He was super athletic but it seemed like that’s all he was. While last years team ‘overachieved’ to a certain extent, I expect this team to do better. More than likely the writers will pick us to finish at the bottom again and that just motivates the Devils even more.
