It looks to be a long year for new coach Trent Johnson, who inherits a team that struggled last season and returns just one starter, senior guard Tommy Zapata.

All the other starters left the team for various reasons. The latest hit occurred when center Dimitrios Marmarinos signed a contract with a professional team overseas.

Only four players return, with 6-5 senior forward Calvin Criddle providing the most promise. Unless Johnson and his staff can pull off a minor miracle, the Wolf Pack figure to settle at the bottom of the East Division.

Flashy freshman guard Terrance Green, the nephew of Dallas Mavericks forward A.C. Green.
