Frashon McGee is happy to be healthy again. Limited during most of his junior season by a broken right hand suffered early in the year, McGee could never display the wide-array of offensive skills that made him one of the jewels of the recruiting class. A natural leader both on and off the court, he will serve as team co-captain this season. On the court, he uses his 6-6 frame to score and rebound inside while displaying the ball handling and passing skills to be effective along the perimeter. His long-range shooting accuracy -- he shot 42 percent from three-point in junior college -- gives an added dimension to an already potent offensive game.

• Started 11 of the 22 games that he played in, averaging 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds as a starter.
• Averaged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds a game in 19.0 minutes, shooting .473 from the field (43-91).
