Josiah-Jordan James - Efficient all-around producer James produced 23 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 79-70 victory over North Carolina State. Impact James was used sparingly in last week's lopsided victory over Georgia Southern, but he bounced back in a major way Saturday with a new season-best scoring total. While Tennessee has another major scoring threat this season with the addition of Dalton Knecht, James is still on pace to set career-best marks in scoring (11.7 ppg), rebounding (6.7 rpg) and shooting percentage (46.6), the latter of which marks a significant bump over his previous career high of 39.0 percent set in 2020-21.
