Trevin Dorius - Logs 8 rebounds in win Dorius ended Sunday's 79-67 win over Loyola Marymount with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes.
Impact The 7-foot-1 center crashed the rebounds well gathering eight in just 19 minutes of play. Only averaging 13.3 minutes per game, the senior hasn't been viewed much as a scoring threat, just averaging 4.5 points per game through eight games played. Despite being a starter, his lack of playing time has capped his production and scoring ability.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rylan Jones - Remains out Saturday Jones (concussion) won't play in Saturday's matchup against Loyola Marymount, per HJ Sports.
Impact Jones is now slated to miss his second consecutive contest as a result of the concussion he sustained Dec. 1 versus Utah Tech. In the senior's absence, Steven Ashworth, Zee Hamoda and Max Shulga are all expected to play increased minutes this weekend against the Lions.

Sean Bairstow - Logs 12 points in win Bairstow registered 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 victory over San Francisco.
Impact The senior is shooting 51 percent from the field through the first eight games of the season. Bairstow has looked comfortable on the court, but continues to struggle from the three-point line shooting just 22.2 percent on just nine attempts. Fantasy managers should monitor his play as he has only reached double-digit scoring contests twice this season.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Funk - Shooting struggles in win Funk provided 13 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 victory over San Francisco.
Impact Despite only shooting 28.6 percent from the field, the senior performed well overall scoring double-digit points for the seventh consecutive contest. The 6-foot-9 forward has also been dominant on the boards providing seven rebounds in the win and is now averaging 8.4 on the season. Keep expecting solid performances as Funk is the clear number one option for the Aggies.

Impact The junior was a floor general in Thursday's win, reaching his first double-double in his third year with the Aggies. The 6-foot-4 guard is averaging 11.5 points per game and is doing so efficiently shooting 43.8 percent from the field through six games played. Expect Shulga to keep up the production, as he is averaging 30 minutes per contest giving him a good chunk of opportunity.
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dan Akin - Logs 15 points in win Akin totaled 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 86-81 win over Utah Tech.
Impact The senior is shooting 71.8 percent from the field through the first six games of the season after transferring from California Baptist this summer. The 6-foot-9 forward has been a menace down low, averaging a near double-double thus far with 12.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per contest. Akin continued to show his consistency offensively, as he shot 85.7 percent from the field in Thursday's win. Expect similar production moving forward as he continues to get acclimated with his new team.
