LUTHER MUHAMMAD (JUNIOR)
What he’s done: Muhammad’s defensive prowess has made him a starter for 56 of his 64 career games. The lanky 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard is widely regarded as the team’s best perimeter defender. Offensively, he’s been up and down throughout his career. His 2-point percentage increased as a sophomore (37.3 to 43.8), but his 3-point percentage dropped (37.5 to 34.7). For the second season in a row, Muhammad also went through a prolonged midseason shooting dry spell.

Next season’s outlook: Given the importance Holtmann places upon defense, Muhammad has the edge to start at shooting guard beside Walker again as a junior. He’s still expected to be the team’s best defender of guards. However, since he’ll again be a major part of the rotation, the Buckeyes will need him to take a step forward offensively. He wasn’t any more impactful on that end of the court last season than he was as a freshman.
