Kaleb Wesson
Last season: 14.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks, 50.0%, 34.7%, 73.4%, 25.9 minutes
This season: 14.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.0 blocks, 45.5%, 41.9%, 71.5%, 29.2 minutes
The younger Wesson is one of the best big men in the country even if he isn’t the 20-point, 10-rebound threat which Iowa’s Luka Garza is. His skill set opens up so much for his teammates that his absence is felt to an alarming extent. He isn’t scoring as much as he was last season, but he’s rebounding at a higher rate while shooting 40 percent from three-point range.
His improved conditioning has allowed him to make an impact in critical moments, which was best shown in a 61-58 road win over Michigan when he put up a statline of 23 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals.
