San Francisco, West Coast Conference

The Dons will lose their top three scorers off last year’s team, but they do return five of their top eight scorers. And four of those five players are 6-foot-8 and above, with two being listed at 7-foot-1. Coach Chris Gerlufsen will return size. They also bring in a major haul from the transfer portal. This includes two former top-100 ranked players in guard Malik Thomas (USC) and wing Mike Sharavjamts (Dayton). At his core, Thomas is a 6-foot-2 bucket-getter, and Sharavjamts is a 6-foot-8, do-it-all guard/wing who can handle, shoot, and pass with a little bit of pop. The team’s leading returning assist man is Marcus Williams, a 6-foot-2 guard who shot 40.8 percent from three while playing 25.5 minutes last season. 

Two more transfers who look to figure into the plans this season are 6-foot-8 Stefan Todorovic, who has a reputation as a sniper from SMU, and Jonathan Mogbo. Mogbo is a 6-foot-8 forward who averaged eight and seven with 1.1 blocks at Missouri State last season. On paper, this team will have size, length, shooting, and depth. 

--------------------


Spoelstra also believes the Heat will see “bigger jumps” from Jamaree Bouyea, who remained with the club on another two-way deal. “He improved being able to run a team, get guys organized,” Spoelstra said, referring to Bouyea’s play in the G League. “And defensively and the things that he can do with his speed are just super unique. So we wanted to have an opportunity to continue his development and have a second year at it.”

Bouyea is a 6-foot-2 guard out of USF and Palma High.

--------------------

John Bynum Jr.: "Miles Lewis (Contra Costa College) has committed to Tarleton State University. Lewis averaged 13.9 points and 4.8 assists last season for the Comets."

The 6-foot-1 Lewis is out of Sacramento High. TSU is located in Texas.

Jake Lieberman: "Malick Diallo gives me an update about visiting programs. 

- Diallo is visiting Cal tomorrow (August 26)
- TCU, September 9 
- Vanderbilt, September 23
- BYU, October 21

- Working on three other programs, too.  6’10 top-150 prospect in class of ‘24"
