10 UNC WILMINGTON– The Seahawks are about the only team I’m even halfway confident in my preseason placement, and that’s unfortunately in the cellar- but even they have significant upside that could easily prove me wrong! Takayo Siddle has a hopefully healthier roster perfectly tailored to his myriad high ball pressure, ball screen blitzing defensive schemes. Dual PGs Mike Okauru and a healthy Shykeim Phillips return as rim attacking paint probers surrounded by a litany of long, versatile wings like healthier Jaylen Sims, breakout candidate Jamahri Harvey, Morehead transfer James Baker, Cleveland St transfer Alec Oglesby, a hopefully healthy Jay Estime, and prodigal son Jaylen Fornes. The Seahawks can score, no question, but they can also give up a ton of points- mostly thanks to a total void in the frontcourt. Essentially, if you get past the pressure, you’re going to score with ease at the rim. UNCW allowed a miserable 1.12 ppp in CAA play, and their 2PT% D per KenPom allowed an absurd 60%. Naturally, the Seahawks were excessively weak on the glass as well. Duquesne transfer Amari Kelly and frosh Khamari McGriff appear to be the only frontcourt additions by Siddle, and that’s simply unlikely to trigger any discernible improvement to his rim defense, unless the shot swatting freshman has a very short learning curve.
