1. The two-headed monster in the backcourt for Auburn are returning starters Bryce Brown and Jared Harper. Starting at the point, Harper is just 5’11”, but is one of the most difficult players to defend in the conference. Ashton Hagans will have his hands full and his reputation of an elite perimeter defender on the line, as Harper is averaging 15.1 points per game, which is 8th in the SEC. On top of that, the junior is leading the SEC in assists at 6.7, grabbing 3.1 rebounds, and swiping 1.1 steals per game, while hitting almost 84% of his free throws.
