I should have included Ballard, but sense he’s more of a PF than Center. Have changed my post to reflect that and made other changes as well. Ballard was superb offensively in conference play last season averaging 11.5 mpg and shooting 61.1 percent on 2’s taking very few shots. Seems his special is offensive rebound put-backs. His defense was off last season possibly because he had no big protecting the rim.

Overall, when Ballard played last season, EMU outscored it’s conference opponents by a good margin per 100 possessions.,He’s the only EMU returnee that’s had a positive overall contribution. Other returnees were underwater.

See him more of a PF than a Center. N. Scott starting at PF and Ballard backing him up is probably EMU’s best Pf combination.
