Center

Yes, we do have a player who is listed on the roster as a center. That has not happened many times in the last generation (only two that I can remember). Unless we are playing smallball, the candidates for playing time here are Admir Besovic, Ruot Monyyong and Nikola Maric. Kris Bankston could see a little time here in a pinch.

Maric averaged 24.4 minutes per game last season, so logic would say that he has the inside track for the starter's minutes. And, they were quality minutes. He averaged 10.7 ppg and 4.8 rpg. He shot 51.7% overall and 42.9% from the arc in limited attempts. Not bad numbers for a true freshman, with room for improvement.

Monyyong averaged 16.1 ppg and 10.4 rpg in juco. He shot 53.1% overall and 30.8% from the arc. Perhaps most importantly, he had 90 blocks on the season.

Besovic averaged 11.1 ppg and 5.9 rpg in juco, with 33 blocks. He has had limited D1 experience at Montana in his freshman season.

This is the most height we have had on the roster during my tenure as a fan. We will see if Walker knows how to use it.
