Baylor Guard- #10 RayJ Dennis
Baylor has had a solid team this season, competing well in the Big 12. They have been led by their guards, who have been electric this season. The last time TCU played Baylor, I covered Ja'Kobe Walter. For this article, I chose to cover Senior guard RayJ Dennis, who has been one of the most consistent driving forces behind this team's success.
Dennis stands at 6'2'' and 180 lbs. and is one of the most efficient players on the Baylor roster. He leads the team in average assists and steals per game. He is also second in average scoring per game. This talented roster may cover up his game, but he is a silent difference maker for this team.
RayJ Dennis is a very skilled playmaker as well as a scorer. He provides experience and mentorship for this team. Dennis works really well off the screen and has developed a very nice three-point shot. TCU must keep him out of the paint because he is very good at driving to the basket and getting the contested bucket. The Horned Frogs struggled to contain him in their first matchup allowing him to score 24 points. If the Frogs want to win this game, they must slow him down.
Other Players To Watch For:
- Freshman Guard- #4 Jakobe Walter
- Leads team in average Points (14.7)
- Freshman Center- #21 Yves Missi
- Leads team in average Rebounds (5.7) and blocks (1.6)
