Wright State coach Scott Nagy wouldn’t trade Brandon Noel and A.J. Braun for any inside tandem in the Horizon League — they’re mobile, skilled and get the foul line frequently, which is a point of emphasis in the program.
They’ve also proven to be durable — both played in all 33 games last season — and keeping them upright again this year could be the key to the Raiders’ success.
The team has only one other front court player: 6-foot-9 redshirt freshman Drey Carter, who played guard in high school. He’s listed at just 190 pounds, which is 35 fewer than the 6-9 Braun and 45 less the 6-8 Noel.
Even 6-3 wing Alex Huibregtse weighs more at 195.
“Primarily, we have three big kids who can play the 4 and 5. To think they’ll all stay healthy the entire year is a big ask,” Nagy said.
“We’re probably going to have to learn to play small.”
