KANSAS STATE WILDCATS NEWS

Dug McDaniel - Leads team with eight assists McDaniel contributed six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 89-65 victory over New Orleans.

Impact McDaniel came off the bench as expected and struggled from the field, though he led the team with eight assists. The Michigan transfer averaged 16.3 points and 4.7 assists last year and while those numbers figure to take a hit this season due to the backcourt depth in Manhattan, McDaniel will be a key contributor this season for the Wildcats.

Max Jones - Impresses in team debut Jones chipped in 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 89-65 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Jones, the transfer from Cal-State Fullerton, made a fantastic first impression with his new club, shooting 70% from the floor including 4-for-5 from three while also chipping in five assists, three boards and two steals. The senior averaged 15.3 points per game last season across 27.4 minutes per game and figures to play a key role this season for the Wildcats.

David N'Guessan - Posts massive double-double N'Guessan finished Tuesday's 89-65 win over New Orleans with 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact N'Guessan unexpectedly earned the start while star transfer Achor Achor sat this game out after having been absent from the team due to a family emergency. N'Guessan took advantage of the opportunity by posting a monster double-double, shooting 71.4% on 14 shots and having 10 of his 15 boards come on the offensive end. Kansas State has had an influx of potential high-impact transfers but the senior holdover has started 39 of 63 games for the WIldcats over the past two seasons and has proven to be a solid contributor on the interior. While the eventual return of Achor will cut into his time, N'Guessan took full advantage of his early opportunity.

Max Jones - Ready to roll vs. New Orleans Jones (lower leg) will be healthy and ready to play in Kansas State's opener against New Orleans, Drew Galloway of On3.com reports.

Impact Jones has dealt with a lower leg injury that's held him out of exhibitions, but he appears to be ready to go given Wildcats' head coach Jerome Tang's update that his entire squad is healthy heading into the opener. Jones figures to be a big part of Tang's squad this season after averaging 15,3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals last season for Cal State Fullerton.

Max Jones - Spotted in boot during exhibition Jones was spotted in a boot during Kansas State's exhibition game against Fort Hays, Derek Young of On3.com reports.

Impact It's currently unclear the severity of Jones' injury, or what exactly has forced the senior to wear a boot. The guard figures to start at the two for head coach Jerome Tang's squad this season after transferring in from Cal State Fullerton where he averaged 15.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals. He did miss the final seven games of Cal State Fullerton's season with an undisclosed injury, so it's possible Jones is still dealing with a nagging ailment from the 2023-2024 season.
