Wings

Caleb Houstan: D-

It was a rough night for five-star freshman Caleb Houstan who made just 1-of-9 shots from the field and not a single 3-pointer. He finished with four points and two rebounds as well as three assists. He did have one turnover and his defense left a lot to be desired. But he’s supposed to be a high school senior right now and there’s a reason he played 39 minutes. The shot will come, it was just an off night. The defense is something that probably won’t be fixed anytime soon.

Terrance Williams: D+

Williams provided a really big spark off the bench in the Buffalo game but couldn’t provide the same magic in 12 minutes against Seton Hall. He’s in the wing category but he played more as a big in this game and really struggled. He didn’t make any shots inside and didn’t rebound well. He also missed a potential game-tying free throw. He actually had the second-lowest plus-minus and in 12 minutes didn’t grab a single rebound. He did make a 3-pointer but it wasn’t a great showing.
