Five Players to Watch
Alex Gross 6’10 Olivet Nazarene
2020-21 1st Team All-American.
21.6ppg, 11.7rpg
High basketball IQ, super skilled big man. One of the best players in the NAIA.
Kevion Blaylock 6’7 William Penn
2020-21 1st Team All-American.
16.7ppg, 10rpg
A bit of a surprise that the Super Senior returned for another year. Explosive athlete that is fun to watch.
Makenzie Fessler 6’4 William Woods
2x All-AMC
13.93ppg, 5.87rpg
Fessler has been a staple in this Owls lineup the past couple years. He will need a big game today for the Owls.
Berto Gittens 6’4 Dakota State
Gittens is new to the NAIA, but he’s an explosive play maker that we have been told is a potential NSAA POY candidate.
#10 Jaden Kleinhesselink 6’2 Briar Cliff
3x All-GPAC
14ppg,4.5rpg
Jaden can get going from all 3 levels. When the three is falling though, he is really tough to stop.
