9. UNC Wilmington

2018-2019 Record: 10-23 (5-13) – Last in CAA

Good news: UNC Wilmington as a team was second in the CAA and Top 100 nationally in points per game. Bad news: They were last in the CAA and 345th nationally in terms of giving them up. In fact, almost all defensive metrics show UNCW as being a bottom-five team in the nation across the board defensively.

To make matters worse, they lose All-CAA big man Devontae Cacok to graduation and the NBA. Cacok’s numbers actually decreased from his Junior to Senior seasons, even lowering the floor of the 2018-2019 Seahawks roster. In addition to Cacok, they lost second-leading scorer Jeantal Cylla, and rotation guards Ty Taylor and Jaylen Fornes, all to transfers. Incoming transfers Mike Okauru, Carter Skaggs and Marten Linssen come to take their place.

One thing is for sure in regards to this new edition of UNCW. They will continue to take quick shots and run the offense at a rapid pace. With the inclusion of Skaggs, as well as the larger offensive role for guys like Kai Toews and Jay Estime’, expect many more threes to fly as well. However, the roster as constructed may be even worse defensively than last year. Gone are Cacok and Cylla, their two biggest rotation players, and the lane may be a runway for opposing players facing the Seahawks this season.
