Auburn’s men’s basketball team has played five games as of the writing of this article. Bruce Pearl is playing the babies, starting multiple freshman and giving huge minutes to underclassmen...because he doesn’t really have any upperclassmen.

Justin Powell has shot the seams off of the ball in his first five games. Everyone knew he could shoot it, so that hasn’t been super surprising.
