Time to take a look at Iowa's 2024 prospects.
The rotation may include:
--Brock Harding, 6'0"
--Owen Freeman, 6'10"
--Payton Sandfort, 6'7"
--Josh Dix, 6'5"
--Drew Thelwell, 6'3" TR
--Seydou Traore, 6'7" TR
--Cooper Koch, 6'8" FR
--Chris Tadjo, 6'8" FR
--Ladji Dembele, 6'8"
6'10" Riley Mulvey RSed last year, and may also be a candidate for limited minutes.
2024 outlook: Iowa will be another interesting team to follow in 24. The trio of Freeman, Sandfort, and Dix is very solid. The question will be how well the role players perform. Harding and Thelwell look like the 4th and 5th starters. Thelwell was a 4 year player, 2 year starter at Morehead State who averaged over 6 assists per game and shot in the higher 30s on 3s last year on decent volume. Harding performed well playing 11m per game as a freshman. He can shoot and pass, but is only 6'0" 162 lbs, and not overly athletic. Transfer Traore is described as a freak athlete with limited basketball skills. Dembele is a thick physical guy who can also play D, but is very limited on offense. Koch and Radjo are two freshman generally rated in the top 100 of the '24 class. Tadjo is very athletic, but not real thick at 220 lbs.
Harding and Thelwell may be somewhat weak as 4th & 5th starters, but there is decent depth and talent here, albeit somewhat young/inexperienced. Overall, Iowa looks like a tourney team who should finish in the 7th-9th place range in the 18 team BT.
