Junior Guard Musa Jallow
What he's done: Jallow has not ascended to becoming a full-time starter, but he has started at least 10 games each of the past two seasons. As one of the two most athletic players on the team at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, he has blossomed into one of the team's best wing defenders. Jallow isn't an offensive threat, averaging just 2.9 points per game last season, but his 3-point percentage jumped from 25 to 33.3 percent between his freshman and sophomore seasons. He ended the 2018-19 season with four straight starts, which he earned due to his defensive prowess.

His role next season: Unless Jallow makes offensive improvements to become a more efficient scorer and minimize his turnovers in the offseason, his role likely won't change much. He'll still be a wing capable of defending multiple positions with offensive deficiencies that will limit his playing time. With Muhammad and Andre Wesson returning, he's likely to come off the bench once again with the possibility of spot starts.

#Buckeyes junior Musa Jallow had six points but left the game early after he got tangled with another player and fell with his arm pinned awkwardly on the ground. Was holding his right shoulder and did not return. Keyshawn Woods had 10 in the @KingdomSLeague.
