Overview: Wake Forest had the most talented team in the conference last year, but were the most disappointing after losing to Cleveland State by 15 points in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. They also lost Jeff Teague, a point guard who left for the NBA. Teague wasn’t a real point guard and played shooting guard alongside Ish Smith (6.2ppg, 3.4apg), who returns. He broke his foot in preseason and Teague took over. The key is the return of 6-9 sophomore Al-Farou q Aminu (12.9ppg, 8.2rpg), who will need to provide more leadership and scoring. Senior center Chaz McFarland (8.7ppg) also returns up front and 7-feet, he needs to be more of a defensive presence and stay out of foul trouble. Senior guard L.D Williams (8ppg) is an excellent defender, who is a glue guy for this team. Freshman guard C.J. Harris (6-2) will have to produce off the bench. Junior college transfer Konner Tucker (6-4), who originally committed to Kentucky, can provide scoring.

Outlook: Wake Forest will be more of a team this season without Teague, but they may not win as many games in conference or overall. That could help them down the road assuming Aminu takes the next step to becoming a college star.
