A new type of big refills lost size for CSU men’s basketball

Size matters in basketball.

An obvious statement, but CSU basketball fans saw what could happen with a talented front line last year as the 6-foot-7 Stanton Kidd and 6-foot-8 J.J. Avila, runner-up for the Mountain West Player of the Year in 2015, led the team in scoring en route to 27 wins.

Kidd and Avila combined for over 28 points per game, and the two showed a versatility possessed by few players with the sheer diversity of their scoring methods.
