Who made the biggest improvement over the summer newcomers to vets?
Source said:Phil Fayne
Elijah Clarance.

Redbirdwarrior said:Phil Fayne has Valley POY potential. He should be a double double avg guy all year. If he can get that 10-15 foot jumper consistent in his game and gain 15 lbs, there really arent too many people that can guard him. He's too fast and energetic for most bigs and too big for most guards. You'd have to guard him with a 3 many times and he is a mismatch for most of them.
Source said:Phil is the most improved. Worked on a little bit of range and is simply the leader and only returning starter for a reason. Also, summer workouts aren't over. They have a camp this week and then go home (for the most part) until school starts on 8/21.

He's a long 6'5-6'6. He will defend guards on the perimeter at times and really disrupt shots. Yes. He could very well be a shot blocker.

I would agree on POY if Alize Johnson wasn't still in the league. I believe Johnson would win POY even if Wichita State was still in the league. Fayne should be first team all-conference for sure.

:text-+1: on Alize front-runner for PoY.....would have been between him and Shamet.
Fayne has a lot to prove to be in the consideration set for the top 5 players in the league in my opinion. Pretty much every facet of his game needs to improve from last year. Most important things that needed improvement.....rebounding and shooting touch (facing up, back to basket and free throws). He should be playing 28-30 mpg this year. Needs to stay on the court.
