After years of playing at a slower pace, Baylor basketball has a strong chance of speeding up their tempo this season.
Baylor had the 77th fastest pace in 2013, according to KenPom. That season, the Bears were led by the electrifying Pierre Jackson. The Bears also rolled out three guard lineups with a combination of the following: Jackson, Brady Heslip, Gary Franklin, and A.J. Walton.
This season’s Baylor lineup should also feature a number of skilled guards. The Bears are likely to start Manu Lecomte at point guard and Al Freeman at shooting guard. Who Baylor starts alongside those two, Ish Wainright, and Johnathan Motley is a question we’ll assess later in our series.
