Jalen Smith takes the spotlight for Maryland men’s basketball this season

There’s only 29 days until the start of the 2019-20 season for Maryland men’s basketball. As the Terps get ready for a highly anticipated year where they’re ranked in the top-10 of every major preseason poll, we’ll be breaking down head coach Mark Turgeon’s roster, which promises to be the deepest he’s had in his time in College Park.

Sophomore forward Jalen Smith is arguably the teams most talented player, and certainly its best NBA prospect. Smith was one of two Terps, along with Anthony Cowan Jr., to be named to the Preseason All-Big Ten Team.
