Not for sure who will actually get the FOY this year, i dont know if FVV will be getting the minutes this year to actually have a shot at it.

I went with Thurman due to likely minutes.

If WSU didn't have Armstead, I'd have picked Van Vleet.

There is obviously no clear cut choice. It's interesting to me that Babineaux is in the lead now, since I'm not sure he's even Drake's best freshman. Bulldogs have 3 frosh who figure to be in the rotation (Babineaux, King, Mason), but no idea how much playing time each will get.

Babineaux was definitely the highest recruited of those three Drake freshman coming out of high school.

Babeneaux is an extremely athletic scorer. I have no doubt that he will put up good stats.

Ron Baker.
Our last five are still collectively better than your starting lineup.

Redshirt Freshman out of Scott City, KS. Three point shooter who should see the court this year. Article is old, but gives insight on the kid.

Of the following, who might start: Balentine, Babineaux, Keane, Thurman, VanVleet? The guys in the race last year were starters so would help to know before I vote.
