SDSU men’s hoops opens practice for 2015-16 season

The Jeff Jacobs JAM Center is the shiny new toy of San Diego State athletics, and its utility was on full display Friday during men’s basketball’s first official practice.

The JAM Center features two parallel courts, eight baskets and a mural of The Show on the wall.

On the left court, co-captains and senior forwards Winston Shepard and Skylar Spencer worked to refine their free throw shooting, an area where they shot 67 and 48 percent, respectively.

The Aztecs are returning Shepard, Spencer, senior forward Angelo Chol and sophomore forward Malik Pope in a very experienced front court, but over the past two years the Aztecs have lost back court and point guard experience with the graduation of Xavier Thames and Aqeel Quinn.
