Puts in 21 from bench Slazinski had 21 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3 Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes off the bench in Friday's 85-78 exhibition victory over George Mason. Impact Slazinski didn't get the start in this matchup, but he tied Jesse Edwards for the team-high in both scoring and field goals attempted. He also appears to be a likely candidate to step into the starting five in place of Akok Akok, who collapsed on the court in a scary incident Friday but is now fortunately OK. Nonetheless, Akok doesn't currently have a return timetable, and the West Virginia frontcourt depth was already a bit thin, so Slazinski could jump immediately on the fantasy radar to open the 2023-24 campaign.
