He’s an excellent athlete with a great combination of size, strength, and speed. He’s an excellent rebounder and shot-blocker, and is also a very good scorer around the basket.

*Darnell Foreman – Senior, Guard. Foreman is Penn’s leading returning scorer from last season. He’s a very good shooter from both inside and outside the arc, and is also an excellent free throw shooter. He’s not the biggest guard, but he’s very quick and crafty with the ball in his hands.

*Mike Wang – Sophomore, Guard/Forward. Wang is a versatile player who can play both guard positions as well as small forward He’s an excellent shooter from long range, and is also a very good rebounder for his size.

2017-2018 Future Outlook

The 2017-2018 Penn basketball team is looking to build on the success of last year’s team. With a mix of experienced veterans and talented newcomers, the Quakers have the potential to be one of the best teams in the Ivy League

The core of the team will be led by senior center AJ Brodeur and junior guard Ryan Betley. Brodeur, a two-time All-Ivy League selection, is one of the best big men in the conference. He averaged 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last season, and he should be even better this year. Betley, meanwhile, is one of the best shooters in the conference. He averaged 13.9 points per game last season and shot 41.5% from three-point range

The Quakers will also have a talented group of newcomers, including freshman forward Jordan Dingle and freshman guard Bryce Washington. Dingle was a highly-touted recruit who should be able to make an immediate impact on both ends of the court. Washington is a physical guard who has the potential to be a difference-maker on defense.

With a balanced mix of experience and youth, the 2017-2018 Penn basketball team has all the pieces in place to have a successful season
