Lykes maturation process this season was one of many topics that Jim Larranaga discussed with Joe Rose and co-host Zach Krantz is just over a ten-minute appearance. Miami will open the season on Friday night against Lehigh who is picked to win the Patriot League.
Miami returns three starters. Lykes started ten games last season. The diminutive point guard and 6’10 Junior center-forward Dewan Hernandez are the cornerstones of the Miami basketball team for 2018-19. Hernandez leads the Miami returnees in scoring and rebounding at 11.4 PPG and 6.7 RPG.
Among the other items that Jim Larranaga discussed with Rose and Krantz were how many players Miami would have in their rotation this season, the improvement that Dewan Hernandez has made and which players will be in the rotation.
