4. Royce Hamm, Jr.

By the end of the season, Royce Hamm could fill a small forward slot to complete a dynamic offense.

Right now, the only real question mark for Texas Basketball is the three spot. Will it be a guard playing big like Eric Davis? Or, will it be a power forward playing small like Royce Hamm?

The projected Texas Basketball lineup looks like:

  • PG: Matt Coleman
  • SG: Andrew Jones
  • SF: ???
  • PF: Dylan Osetkowski
  • C: Bo Bamba

It’s that third spot that will be up for grabs during the offseason. Royce Hamm may not be ready to seize it now, but he could be a very dynamic small forward by the end of the season when Texas is ready to make a postseason push.

Look out for Hamm shooting from the outside, being able to post up on the inside, and elevating for dunks from Matt Coleman at the rim.
