Oct 23

Our Clemson basketball preview 2021 - 22 notes that head coach Brad Brownell (201-150 Clemson/11 years, 368-235 Overall/19 years) did a fine job getting this team back to the Big Dance in 2021. However, the Clemson Tigers (16-8 Overall, 10-6 ACC), who finished tied for fifth in the conference and won nine of their first 10 games, bowed out of the NCAA Tournament in the Round of 64 to Rutgers. Prior to that, the Tigers lost to Miami in the initial round of the ACC Tournament.

Tigers Frontcourt

In front, expect to see forward/center P.J. Hall, forward Hunter Tyson, and forward Naz Bohannon playing a majority of the minutes. Hall, who starts his second season, will try to replace Aamir Simms and his 13.4 PPG and 6.4 RPG. Our Clemson basketball preview 2021 - 22 notes that Tyson is a solid inside-out player. Bohannon, who transfers from Youngstown State where he shot 52.9 percent from the floor, averaging 16.5 PPG and 8.2 RPG, should have a huge impact. The 6-6 forward brings a huge physical presence to the paint.

Clemson Basketball Preview – Backcourt

At the guard spots, Al-Amir Dawes and Nick Honor start. Dawes returns as the top point-maker averaging 9.0 PPG while shooting 39.4 percent from downtown. Our NCAAM Tigers preview finds that Honor has talent but needs to develop stamina to perform consistently through to the end of the season. Last season, he averaged 8.1 PPG. Senior David Collins transfer from USF having averaged 12.5 PPG.
