The Commercial AppealMemphis basketball dug deep, got back to its roots and beat ECU. But Penny Hardaway is not confident the Tigers have hit their last speed bump.
Elijah McCadden - Scores nine points SaturdayMcCadden posted nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Saturday's win over East Carolina.
ImpactMcCadden was perfect from the field -- though he did miss an attempt from the charity stripe -- and looked good in his return to action. He's started in three of Memphis' last four games and is averaging 9.3 points per game in that four-game span.

Jaden Walker - Records four stealsWalker ended with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 69-59 loss to Memphis.
ImpactCurrently, Walker's best quality is his defense. He averaged 3.4 steals across Dec. 21 to Jan. 7. So despite not being promising before 2022, Walker has a lot more upside fantasy managers could benefit from during 2023.

Benjamin Bayela - DNP at MemphisBayela (undisclosed) did not play during the Pirates' 69-59 loss Saturday at Memphis.
ImpactBayela sat out three games the Pirates played from Dec. 31 to Jan. 7. Currently, their next matchup is when they are at Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Javon Small - Unimpressive at MemphisSmall amassed 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 69-59 loss to Memphis.
ImpactSmall did not shoot well and logged nine turnovers. The sophomore will try redeeming himself across 2023. Fortunately for him, he is expected to continue being part of East Carolina's preferred frontcourt this year.

Javon Small - Back in starting fiveSmall will return to the starting five Saturday versus Memphis.
ImpactSmall didn't start for the first time all season Wednesday versus UCF but still played 31 minutes off the bench. He produced a season-low five points on just 2-of-12 shooting in the game but will hope for better results Saturday returning to his usual spot in the lineup.

Jaden Walker - Gets starting nodWalker is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Memphis.
ImpactWalker will make his fifth start of the season Saturday. He is averaging 5.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.1 minutes across 16 games in 2022-23.
