Alot will be riding on AJ Harris' ability to run the team and Ndir's ability to stay healthy. I think NMSU is solid in the front court with Chuha carrying most of the interior scoring load. Marlon Jones should be a big help this season. NMSU just needs more bodies to fill the wings.

I have higher expectations for the other Jones. Watching Jemerrio play is like looking into Oscar Frayer's future. Both are freakishly athletic & can/will be gamechangers in at least a handful of contests this season.

I would love to see Majerle stick O on J. Jones for a game, just to see them go at it. Was really surprised it didn't happen when Jemerrio was eating GCU's lunch on the boards last season. I honestly thought Frayer was the only player who could keep a body on him. That didn't happen & we all saw the results.

I think that part of the reason is that he wanted to keep Oscar's length on the perimeter. His numbers in blocks and boards would be inflated even more if he moved him to play inside. I also think he needs to bulk up if he wants to play inside some more.

The only problem with that is he is a 25% 3 point shooter. He will need to improve that stat.
