Chris Collins knows that the current state of Northwestern's backcourt is an issue. That's why Northwestern was interested in Charlie Moore and Canyon Barry. With Tre Demps graduating, 37 minutes a night have opened up in the rotation. How Northwestern handles that will be the biggest story of the season.
The frontcourt, and the center specifically, will be important too, there's no question about that. Whether Dererk Pardon can stay out of foul trouble and if Barret Benson can step in and be college ready will be important when Northwestern plays the likes of Isaac Haas and Ethan Happ.
