Zep Jasper - Slotting in as backup PG Jasper is slated to serve as the Tigers' backup point guard to open 2021-22, Tom Green of AL.com reports.
Impact Jasper finished 2020-21 at Charleston last season averaging 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 32.6 minutes per game. Even in a backup role, Jasper seems likely to find some time in the rotation this year working behind Wendell Green.

Wendell Green - Slated to start at point guard Bruce Pearl indicated Tuesday that Green is set to start at point guard for Auburn, Tom Green of AL.com reports.
Impact Per Pearl, he has four of the five starting lineup spots decided and Green is one of them. Green beat out Zep Jasper for the starting gig after transferring in from Eastern Kentucky after one season. Green averaged 15.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game last season and should be a considerable fantasy asset again this year with the Tigers assuming he controls the starting role all season.

Allen Flanigan - Shooting without boot Flanigan (Achilles) was spotted getting shots up without a walking boot on prior to Friday's team scrimmage, Nathan King of 247 Sports reports.
Impact The plan remains for Flanigan to return roughly around the start of conference play in mid-December, and nothing so far suggests that date is out of reach. Despite the missed time, Flanigan was still voted preseason all-conference by SEC coaches, which shows the level of respect he has among his peers. Drafting Flanigan remains a risky play for fantasy managers in SEC leagues, but he's certainly a mid-season waiver wire target worth keeping an eye on.
