Why Myles Dread will be crucial to Penn State men's basketball’s offensive success next season | Opinion

As Penn State regroups for what should be an intriguing 2020-21 season, the obvious question marks surround replacing all-time program great Lamar Stevens.

While Stevens prepares for his professional basketball career, he leaves a team that has some talented pieces who, as a unit, are more than capable of securing Pat Chambers first ‘official’ berth in the NCAA Tournament.

One of those players staying in Happy Valley is junior guard Myles Dread who will be asked to increase his scoring and continue to do what he does best: shooting perimeter jump shots.

While Dread may not have the most diverse offensive game out of the returning players for Penn State, he will be crucial to its flow on that side of the floor with his pure catch and shoot ability.
