Excellent!

13. Furman Paladins

2018-19: 25-8, NIT First Round

The Paladins entered the national rankings for the first time in 2018-19, and are poised to remain a SoCon contender next season. They lose one of the country’s best big men in Matt Rafferty, but return four other players that started regularly last year. That includes point guard Jordan Lyons, who turned into a big-time scoring threat in an expanded role last year. Rising juniors Clay Mounce and Alex Hunter provide a sold nucleus around Lyons, as does versatile forward Noah Gurley, who was an important contributor as a freshman. The defense may dip without Rafferty, but count on Bob Richey to produce another solid, efficient team.

The biggest key: Noah Gurley- he needs to double his production. Needs to go up to 16 ppg. and 8 rpg.

If Gurley and Mounce can be as consistently good as they were in a handful of individual games this past year, and Lyons continues to do his thing, we have a chance to be very good. That's before you even get to Hunter, Bothwell, Slawson, the freshmen, etc.
