XAVIER MUSKETEERS NEWS

Gytis Nemeiksa - Capitalizing when called upon Nemeiksa produced six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 78-76 loss to Oakland.

Impact Nemeiksa has started all seven of Xavier's contests thus far despite averaging a modest 24.9 minutes per game. His 57.1 percent shooting from the field and 47.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc comes with the asterisk of a limited sample size, but the 22-year-old import from Lithuania hitting the ground running bodes well for his rest-of-season outlook.

Dayvion McKnight - Facilitation continues McKnight ended Monday's 78-76 loss to Oakland with four points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes.

Impact McKnight has now posted back-to-back games with eight assists. Despite his 6-foot frame, McKnight was a quality rebounder across the last two seasons at Western Kentucky, averaging 5.5 and 5.0 rebounds per game, respectively. His rebounding prowess has transitioned to Xavier, as the fourth-year transfer is pulling down 4.3 rebounds per game despite a slight dip in playing time. From a scoring standpoint, his volume has been limited to 7.0 shots per game after attempting 13.2 per game last season, although a frigid start from beyond the arc is partially to blame as well.

Trey Green - Confident in loss Green posted 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 83-71 loss to Purdue.

Impact Green is forming a relevant freshman duo with fellow four-star recruit Dailyn Swain, combining for 20 points Monday. Green hasn't showcased impressive efficiency yet, but his willingness to fire away bodes well for his rest-of-season outlook on a Xavier team in need of scoring punch.

Dailyn Swain - Breaks out in win Swain closed with 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 79-56 victory over Jacksonville.

Impact Swain did it all Friday, making two-way contributions while trailing only Quincy Olivari (17 points) in scoring. The true freshman was a four-star recruit and brings great size on the wings at 6-foot-7. His role might fluctuate, but he's worth monitoring.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quincy Olivari - Lives at the line Olivari accumulated 17 points (3-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 79-56 victory over Jacksonville.

Impact Olivari's ability to draw fouls yielded a team-high 17 points. After four years with Rice, Olivari may have peaks and valleys as he acclimates to a new level of play, but he's finding ways to contribute thus far. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 18.7 points on 41.3/36.4/79.3 percent shooting last year.

Lazar Djokovic - Doubtful vs. Jacksonville Djokovic (hand) is doubtful for Xavier's game Friday against Jacksonville, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Considering the magnitude of Djokovic's current injury, it is unsurprising that he is likely to sit out multiple games for recovery purposes. If the Serbian is a key long-term piece like Rothstein and Xavier's team believes he is, he will take his time until at 100 percent.

Desmond Claude - Detonates in win Claude accumulated 25 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 77-63 win over Robert Morris.

Impact Claude easily surpassed his previous career high of 12 points, showcasing a different player than the freshman rotation role he assumed last year. Claude's volume alone makes him a breakout candidate, and his early season performance is worth monitoring.
