Leading Statistics:
Points: Billy Humphrey 12.3
Assists: Sundiata Gaines 5.6
Rebounds: Sundiata Gaines 4.8
Top 3 Players:
Billy Humphrey, Jr., 6-2 190 SG
Arrested for weapons charges back in Mid November. Shoots about 37% from 3, has 3 games over 15 points. He is probably the most creative offensive player for Dennis Feltons undermanned Georgia Team.
Sundiata Gaines, Sr., 6-1 210 PG
Sundiata Gaines is one of the country's most underrated point guards. Definitely Georgia's Senior Leader and most talented all around player. Leading the team in rebounds and assists, and second in points scored. Big Guard, similar in size to Jeremy Pargo. Not the best shooter, gets a lot of his points driving to the lane. Shooting Just 23% from 3 and only 41% overall. He has had two games over 24 points and he has a tendency to take a lot of shots.
Jeremy Price, Fr., 6-8 270 PF/C
Has produced best among talented incoming Freshman class. Shooting a high 65% so far with two games over 18 points. He has been getting a lot more minutes of late. He has scored more than 10 points in 5 straight games. Definitely the Low post leader.
My Prediction:
Georgia continues to be involved in the news for bad reasons, having dismissed their top 2 players, Mike Mercer and Takais Brown, and their Leading scorer, Billy Humphrey, being arrested on weapons charges earlier this year. This is not the same Georgia Team that Beat Gonzaga Last year 96-83 in Georgia. This team is definitely running a little weak on their depth currently. I expect this team to give Gonzaga a fight early on, but the zags should push ahead at home towards the end. Final score Gonzaga 77 Georgia 65.
