After Wednesday’s cutdown to 16 players and the subsequent injury to Duke’s Rodney Hood, Bob McKillop and his staff needed to trim three more players to get to the final roster of 12. That roster was released on Saturday:
Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado)
Yogi Ferrell (Indiana)
Treveon Graham, (VCU)
Luke Hancock, (Louisville)
Tyler Haws, (BYU)
Cory Jefferson, (Baylor)
Sean Kilpatrick, (Cincinnati)
Alex Kirk, (New Mexico)
Doug McDermott, (Creighton)
Adreian Payne, (Michigan State)
Will Sheehey, (Indiana)
Aaron White, (Iowa)
Based on what I saw when I was at the practices earlier in the week, the composition of the roster isn’t much of a surprise. It includes eight of the initial nine guys (sans Hood) that I would have chosen.
