VANDERBILT COMMODORES 3-0 · 8TH IN SEC
3-0 · 8TH IN SEC
SEC Basketball Play Begins Saturday Alabama has been road-tested, but has not fared well against tough competition
Ven-Allen Lubin - Ends up sitting Lubin (groin) ultimately did not take the court in Saturday's 69-53 victory over Dartmouth.
Impact It was reported pregame that Lubin felt ready to give it a go, but he ultimately wasn't deployed for the final game of Vanderbilt's non-conference schedule. That will hopefully give the sophomore forward enough time to rest and heal up in advance of next Saturday's SEC opener against Alabama. In his stead, Carter Lang picked up another start, with Tasos Kamateros seeing a minutes boost.

Evan Taylor - Near double-double in loss Taylor amassed eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 63-62 loss to Western Carolina.
Impact The senior was two points and two rebounds shy of a double-double in Tuesday's loss. This marked a season-high in rebounds for Taylor as his previous best was just five. Expect the guard to continue to be a primary scorer in this offense and possibly look to see an increase in field goal percentage as the season continues.

Tasos Kamateros - Logs 16 minutes in loss Kamateros amassed eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt) over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 80-62 loss to Boston College.
Impact The 6-foot-8 forward scored eight points and shot 66.6 percent from the three-point line in Wednesday's loss to Boston College. Kamateros has been a solid bench piece for the Commodores as he is shooting 50 percent from the field through seven games played this season. Expect Kamateros to continue to see bench minutes for Vanderbilt moving forward.

The guard has been a productive bench piece for the Commodores, as he has averaged 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season. Expect Rivera-Torres to continue to have a bench role for Vanderbilt moving forward.

Paul Lewis - Scores eight in start Lewis posted eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 84-78 loss to North Carolina State.
Impact Lewis drew the spot start Thursday -- his second of the season -- due to the absence of primary point guard Ezra Manjon, who was sidelined by an ankle injury. The end result was a season-best minutes total and his second highest scoring output of the year, but he did also commit three turnovers. Lewis likely returns to the bench when Manjon is healthy enough to go -- a scenario that basically drops the sophomore from the fantasy radar. It's currently unclear what the lineup will look like when Vandy takes on Arizona State on Friday night.

Ven-Allen Lubin - Solid line in 2023-24 debut Lubin totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 84-78 loss to North Carolina State.
Impact Lubin missed the first four games of the 2023-24 season due to a hip injury, but the Notre Dame transfer was immediately put into the starting five in his Vanderbilt debut. The results were encouraging and immediately put the 6-8 wing on the fantasy radar, as he appears in line to see a major minutes boost compared to last season with the Irish. His follow-up effort Friday against Arizona State is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
