Stevenson, Burton develop individual games during the offseason

A new basketball season is approaching. Not only has there been hard work during the offseason to improve the team as a whole, but individual players have been honing their personal games.

“I think that two guys that stand out to me, in that regard, are Erik Stevenson and Jamarius Burton — both of whom have become better athletes,” Head Coach Greg Marshall said during a press conference. “They’ve cut their bodies up. They’re a little quicker, more explosive, but they haven’t lost any strength.

“They’ve slimmed down from what they were last year, so in Erik’s case, he’s able to guard better, which was a struggle last year.
