Wake Forest Basketball set to face Winst

Wake Forest mens basketball opens up their 2022-23 season with an exhibition match with Winston-Salem this evening at the Joel. In an exhibition last year, the Deacs defeated the Rams 88-56. Wake is a much taller team, and dominated on the gla s in 2021, out rebounding the Rams 47-31.Its an exhibition match, so this game does not count towards Wakes Jevon Carter Jersey record. While the Demon Deacons should cruise to a victory, the low stakes make it a great opportunity for Forbes to let the entire roster see the floor. The only returning starter is guard Daivien Williamson. If Forbes employs the same starting five as he did in the not-so-secret scrimmage vs Ohio State, joining Williamson will be Tyree Appleby, Cameron Hildreth, Andrew Carr and Matthew Marsh.Forbes could end up going 10 or more deep this season with the talent on this roster.Damari Monsanto and Jao Ituka will play Trevor Ariza Jersey big minutes off the bench. It wouldnt be a surprise if Monsanto is starting sooner rather than later. Bobi Klintman, Zack Keller and Davion Bradford will all be a part of the rotation as well. If Lucas Taylor and Rob McCray are developing according to plan, they should earn some court time as well.We likely wont learn a Phoenix Suns Hoodie ton about the rotation in this one because Forbes will make it a point to get everyone involved. Winston-Salem State went 19-7 (12-3 in the CIAA) last season, falling in the semifinals of their conference tournament. The team averaged just over 70 points per game while hitting field goals at a 45% clip. The Mikal Bridges Jersey teams leading scorer last year was Javonte Cook (16.6 ppg), and hes no longer on the team. His backcourt mate Cameron Campbell (12 ppg) is gone as well.The guards will likely be replaced by Jonathan Hicklin (11 ppg) and Samage Teel (10 ppg), while senior DyQuavis Wilkins will bring some veteran presence in the paint. Graduate transfer Nathan Springs, who played several years at Ohio University, is an important piece to watch.Year three under Steve Forbes is about to get underway. Itll be good to get to see the Shawn Marion Jersey new roster in Joel, to get ready for the teams true opener on Monday night against Fairfield.Score Prediction:Wake Forest 83, Winston-Salem State 59
