Notable players
Given that the 2017-2018 season was the first time in five years that the Austin Peay men’s basketball team posted a winning record, it’s no surprise that fans are wondering what to expect from the team this season.
One of the biggest questions facing the team is who will step up to fill the shoes of last year’s leading scorer, Chris Porter-Bunton, who graduated in May.
junior college transfer Johaan Gray is one player who is expected to make an impact. The 6’7” forward was a highly sought-after recruit, and he has the athleticism and scoring ability to be a difference-maker on both ends of the court.
Another player to watch is sophomore guard Antwon Lillard, who showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman and will be expected to take on a bigger role this season.
With a mix of experienced veterans and talented newcomers, the Austin Peay men’s Basketball team has the potential to build on last year’s success and make some noise in the Ohio Valley Conference
