One of the biggest question marks heading into the 2020-21 season is transfer guard Makai Ashton Langford. Originally a four star recruit, the older Langford brother ended up at Providence but never found his footing with the Friars. He averaged 3.7 points per game and 2.3 assists per game during his final season in Ed Cooley's program.
He decided to transfer in the summer of 2019, and because of transfer rules sat out last year. But this upcoming season could be a big one for Langford. Wynston Tabbs is coming back from injury, and if he takes some time to ease in it could be Langford who gains the lion share of early minutes. If he can gain back some of his confidence, and play like the highly regarded recruit he was, Langford could be a key player for the Eagles this season.
Stellar
Because Tabbs takes some time to get into the swing of gameplay, Langford jumps into the starting lineup and flourishes. He is a facilitator at guard, and finds his shot and regains his swagger. His play is crucial for the Eagles, as they need a guard to step up in Tabbs's absence.
Standard
Langford becomes more of a role player for the Eagles, the sixth man off the bench. He cycles in at guard, giving the Eagles valuable veteran minutes and becomes a solid piece of the lineup. Efficient and reliable, Langford finds his role with the team.
Subpar
With Tabbs fully healed, and Rich Kelly in from Quinnipac, Langford struggles to find minutes with the team. Plays a reduced role for the Eagles.
