With FOUR (wheeeee!!!) days left until basketball season tips off, it’s time to take a look at a player who should be a major contributor this season. Marial Shayok, now in his third season in Charlottesville, has the opportunity to step up and account for some of the scoring that the Hoos lost with the departure of Malcolm Brogdon.
As a first year, Shayok - who was born in Ottawa, Ontario - saw action in all 34 games for Virginia. He averaged 14.6 minutes per game, and scored 3.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, shooting 40.5% from the field and 38% from three-point land.
