I agree with these segments extracted from this site:
Who to Watch:
Fortunately Carl Richard can handle a lot of work on the glass. The 6-5 wing tallied 6.0 rebounds per game as a freshman and added 6.1 points. ISU will not want to have to rely on Richard to hit the glass and score inside. In fact, Richard simply does not have the size to be an interior scorer. That leaves the job up to Martin, Crawford or Leitnaker, or more likely a combination of the three.
Final Projection:
Indiana State could be a sleeper team in the Missouri Valley Conference if they find a way to replace Tunnell. Yet, the conference is full of talented guards. What separates one team from another is the play in the frontcourt. Is Martin healthy and confident enough to put his disappointing sophomore season behind him and play like he did as a freshman? If so, the Sycamores should finish in the top half of the conference.
Projected Starting Five:
Harry Marshall, Senior, Guard, 13.6 points per game
Rashad Reed, Senior, Guard, 11.0 points per game
Aaron Carter, Junior, Guard, 7.6 points per game
Carl Richard, Sophomore, Guard, 6.1 points per game
Isiah Martin, Junior, Forward, 4.0 points per game
