ESPN preseason ranks Auburn basketball and projects their starting lineup
The NBA Draft is done, which means that college teams can entirely focus on the upcoming season.
Auburn is bringing back four of their top six scorers and a very talented recruiting class.
The scorers that will be returning are K.D. Johnson, Wendell Green Jr., Jaylin Williams, and Allen Flanigan.
The recruiting class is highlighted by five-star Yohan Traore, four-star Chance Westry, three-star Tre Donaldson, and Morehead State transfer Johni Broome.
This team that Coach Pearl has put together has a real chance of winning the SEC for the second year in a row.
The one thing that could get in the way of that goal is how talented the SEC will be this year.
Let's look at the SEC teams in ESPN's preseason top 25 and their projected starting lineups.
