A season ago, senior forward Justin Gorham was trying to find a place to carve out his role with the Houston men’s basketball program.
He was in a crowded position group with Chris Harris Jr., Brison Gresham and Fabian White Jr., which to no surprise led to his minutes being limited throughout the season. Even then, the Cougars’ coaching staff had expectations for the Columbia, Maryland, native.
“When you are going to find how good Justin is, (will be) next year when he is a senior,” UH head coach Kelvin Sampson said after a practice during the 2019-20 campaign.
