Column: Who could start for the Aztecs in 2020-21?
Then-junior forward Matt Mitchell attempts a jump shot over a Colorado State defender during the Aztecs' 66-60 win over the Rams on Feb. 25 at Viejas Arena.The deed of replacing three starters from arguably the greatest team to don a San Diego State men’s basketball jersey is an unenviable one.
For head coach Brian Dutcher, such a task has been given to him after the graduation of three seniors, Malachi Flynn’s departure to the NBA and Joel Mensah’s transfer to James Madison.
What makes Dutcher’s task easier is the 14 players that make up his squad, with eight returning from the 2019-2020 squad.
