Dasher UGA Sports: Silas Demary Jr's return was a bigger deal than you might think

Red & Black: Georgia men’s basketball striving to build culture amid roster turnover

“I'd like to play a little bit faster,” White said. “We played a little bit faster the previous year [in 2022-23]. I think this team, offensively, can be a little bit less call heavy. And I think this team could have more success with some continuity stuff, playing downhill, screens off the ball, screens on the ball, picking our spots where we will play really fast at times.”

“Savo is a terrific passer, competitor,” White said. “He's got that European experience, playing against high level professionals over there for quite some time, to where he's mature beyond his years. Really high basketball IQ, big body point guard, again with a high level ability to pass the ball and make his teammates better.”

AJC: These key players are why Georgia basketball could be ‘significantly better’ this year

“Somto’s got a 7-foot-6 wingspan and really, really elevates on the floor,” White said. “There’s a couple of plays a day where some jaws are dropped.”

“He’s been terrific,” White said. “RJ was a heck of a player on some really good teams and played alongside some really good front-court players. His consistency, his motor, his toughness. We know exactly what we’re getting out of RJ every day, and it’s rubbed off a little bit.”

BYU
Sean Paul: Egor Demin could end up as BYU’s best player, but Dallin Hall is easily the most important. The 6-4 lead guard had a big year for the Cougars — 9.0’ppg, 5.1 apg, can shoot it and is very secure with the ball. He’s awesome and he’s the type of player that dictates BYU’s success. He gets everyone going.
