Monroe is among the nation's most skilled big men -- he shoots 57.2 percent from the field, dishes out 2.6 assists per game, and even averaged a team-high 1.8 steals as a freshman -- but he's going to need help up front. Sims, a 6-10 sophomore, and Vaughn, a 6-9 junior, will have to contribute more on the glass than they did in limited minutes last season. Thompson, a four-star wing recruit, enrolled early at Georgetown last season and should play a significant role as a freshman.
