Justyn Mutts - Puts up 15 points in blowout winMutts recorded 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 82-47 victory over Maine.
ImpactMutts only averaged 9.5 points per game last season, but Tuesday's season opener showed he might be ready to handle a bigger role offensively. He already scored double digits per game in 2019-20, so a steady role on offense shouldn't be anything new for him.

David N'Guessan - Nearly perfect in season openerN'Guessan ended Tuesday's 82-47 victory over Maine with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and one block over 18 minutes.
ImpactN'Guessan couldn't have dreamed about a better way to start the season, as he hit all of his field goals and also left his mark defensively. Expecting this kind of output -- and these levels of efficiency -- aren't realistic, though, and he shouldn't be more than a bench piece going forward for the Hokies.

Keve Aluma - Slowed by back sorenessAluma contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one block over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 82-47 win over Maine.
ImpactAluma was in the starting lineup for what was ultimately a blowout victory, but his low minutes weren't necessarily due to game flow. According to David Cunningham of Tech Sideline, Aluma was spotted on the bench using some type of device/heating pad on his back. After the game, coach Mike Young just attributed it to back soreness, plus the fact he wanted to get John Ojiako some more minutes. It doesn't sound like Aluma is in major danger of missing games, but his minutes may be limited early in non-conference play as he works back to 100 percent.
