Ben Middlebrooks - Decent output but fouls out Middlebrooks ended with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds across 17 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 87-62 loss to Georgia Tech.

Impact Middlebrooks had problems with fouls throughout the entire game and lasted only 17 minutes on the court. He made his presence felt when he was out there, but there's no question the Wolfpack need him to be available to have a better chance of winning games. He should continue in his regular starting role when NC State takes on Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Paul McNeil - Draws start Saturday McNeil will get the start against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Impact McNeil will get the first start of his career in place of Marcus Hill. The freshman averages 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds across 5.9 minutes as a seldom-used role player, but he'll see his role expand in a Saturday start.

Marcus Hill - Not starting Saturday Hill is not listed amongst NC State's starting five ahead of Saturday's showdown with Wake Forest.

Impact Hill will shift to the bench as the team turns to Paul McNeil to fill his space in the starting five. The 6-foot-4 senior transfer from Bowling Green, who is averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.7 steals on 28.8 minutes per game, remains likely to see a heavy minute allotment off the bench for the Wolfpack.

Dontrez Styles - Scores 18 points vs. UNC Styles ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 97-73 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Styles has lacked consistency on a game-to-game basis, and while that limits the senior forward's fantasy upside, he's proven he can get the job done when needed. He's scored at least 18 points in four of his last seven appearances.

Jayden Taylor - Snaps scoring drought Saturday Taylor totaled 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 70-62 win over Boston College.

Impact Taylor played a significant role in the Wolfpack's win over the Eagles, but perhaps even more importantly, the senior forward snapped a five-game scoring streak in which he didn't reach the 10-point plateau. Taylor is averaging 10.9 points per game over his last 12 contests since the beginning of January, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside a bit.

Mike James - Likely OFS James (knee) is not expected to return during the 2024-25 season, Noah Fleischman of On3.com reports.

Impact James underwent a knee surgery prior to the start of the 2024-25 season that was initially expected to keep the junior guard out for 2-4 weeks, but he has yet to appear with the Wolfpack this season. James, who averaged 12.6 points, five rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.6 steals with Louisville last season is reportedly "really unlikely" to see the court this year according to head coach Kevin Keatts.

Trey Parker - Scores 13 points Parker totaled 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 91-66 loss to Louisville.

Impact Parker has scored in double digits while hitting at least three treys in three of his last five outings. The lack of consistency remains an issue, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late. Parker is averaging 11.8 points per game over his last four contests.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield - 10 boards in return Huntley-Hatfield supplied four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 91-66 loss to Louisville.

Impact Huntley-Hatfield made his return to action following a three-game absence with an illness. The 6-foot-10 senior was mostly held in check on the offensive end, though he recorded a season-high 10 rebounds against his previous team. Huntley-Hatfield has averaged eight points and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Wolfpack since transferring in from Louisville in the off-season. A home matchup against Boston College awaits on Saturday.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield - Starting Wednesday Huntley-Hatfield (illness) is starting for NC State on Wednesday, Noah Fleischman of On3.com reports.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield - Spotted warming up Huntley-Hatfield (illness) has been spotted warming up for NC State's clash with Louisville, Travon Miles of ABC 11 reports.

Impact Huntley-Hatfield has missed the last three games with an illness, but appears to be pushing hard to make his return against the Cardinals. The forward was reportedly one of the first players on the court for initial warm-ups, further indicating that he's pushing hard to play. He'll remain a game-time call for now, but this is clearly a good sign for the senior.
