Training camp went well, and the Leopards are ready for action.

Graham Sims will put a veteran team on the floor this season. Four starters return from last year's team.

Senior center Matt Robles (Green/Green) has made the most of his ability and will provide us with an inside scoring threat and a rebounding presence at both ends of the floor. He'll be joined inside by classmate Asdrubal Cruz (Yellow/Yellow), a Blue Collar Man who will guard our opponent's best inside player.

After making a significant impact as our sixth man last year, sophomore Byron Shores (Green/Blue) will start on the wing this season. Byron is developing into a reliable defender, and his scoring credentials are already well-established. Professional scouts already list him on mock drafts, even though he's not eligible to leave college for another year.

Shooting guard Thomas Lucy has blossomed into a Blue/Blue player as a junior, and will be one of the focal points of our game plan. Will he be the next Lafayette player to be recognized as the Patriot League's Player of the Year? Thomas is also being mentioned as a potential professional draft pick, if he chooses to forgo his final season of eligibility.

The point guard will be senior Ben Miele (Green/Blue). The reigning league assist leader, Ben is also a capable shooter who can't be left unguarded. He is also a very good on-ball defender.

Coach Sims often uses a promising, dynamic freshman as his sixth man. This year's choice is Micah Rodriguez (Yellow/Blue). M-Rod is quick and athletic, and possesses a scorer's mentality.

The first big man off the bench will be sophomore Kurt Ritchie (Yellow/Green), a hard-nosed defender. Freshman point guard Kamari Stone (Yellow/Green) will get some run as Miele's caddy this season. Sophomore Jeffrey Hampton (Yellow/Green) moves ahead of senior Jonathan Baldwin (Orange/Yellow) on this year's depth chart.

And, waiting in the wings is transfer Kenton Lashley (Green/Blue), who will challenge his teammates in practice each day and prepare for his Lafayette debut next fall.
