Looks like the general consensus is that Mizzou can probably win around 14-15 games this year. Possibly win more if Nikko or Smith can give the team 15-20 minutes.

I think Mizzou scores around 74-75 points a game.
Walton leads the team in scoring
Jackson leads team in rebounding
Nikko leads team in blocks
Phillips averages 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Then we will get to see what Sterk's hiring process is like.

Center spot is gonna be the weak link. Not saying Mizzou is good at every other position, just saying thats the real vulnerable spot. Need Woods/Smith/Nikko to just be ok.

His best hire made at WSU, he really went to the basketball people for their take. It worked in getting the Bennetts.

Going all the way back to the Quinn hire guys like Sunvold have had a different guy in mind and interested for the position each time.

You're asking too much. "Ok" is average, and asking the weakest position to be average is way above expectations for a team that is below average.

It's a tiny sample size, but Nikko looked like he could be decent as a defensive specialist.

In the scrimmage last week Woods tried going at him a few times. Got shut down every time. Nikko isn't going to he big minutes, but I think he will be ok when Mizzou faces teams with solid low posts.
