Colonials report: Strategy and personnel
THE GOOD NEWS
A solid nucleus of players with experience from 2010-11, headed by G Tony Taylor, returns along with G Lasan Kromah. Kromah, who averaged just under 12 points a game as a freshman in 2009-10, sat out the entire season with a foot injury. F Nemanja Mikic will give the Colonials a perimeter threat. F David Pellom and G Bryan Bynes, both sophomores, also could be ready for larger roles.
THE BAD NEWS
The question is going to be inside play. C Joseph Katuka wasn't a consistent producer (8.1 points, 5.0 rebounds) but at 6-foot-11, 237 pounds, he took up space in the low post.
KEY RETURNEES
G Tony Taylor led the Colonials in scoring as a junior. F Nemanja Mikic cooled a bit after his hot start from the perimeter, but he was only a freshman, so he should mature. F Dwayne Smith (9.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg) finished strong. G Lasan Kromah will be back from a foot injury, and F David Pellom and G Bryan Bynes gained experience off the bench as sophomores. They had 28 starts between them.
PLAYER NOTES
--Junior G Tony Taylor was named second team all-Atlantic 10 after leading the Colonials in scoring (15.0 ppg), assists (4.6), and steals (1.3).
--Freshman F Nemanja Mikic set a school freshman record for 3-pointers by finishing with 75 in 172 attempts (43.6 percent). He was only 11-for-33 from inside the arc.
