Two seasons into his Michigan State career, Marcus Bingham Jr. is still searching for his role.
As a recruit, he was highly-touted out of Grand Rapids, Mich., and some even dubbed him a one-and-done type of player but he was extremely raw coming in. His weight was an immediate concern and that nearly led Tom Izzo to redshirt him in order to get him ready for a second season with another year of eligibility to work on his frame.
That didn’t quite happen and he appeared in 24 games as a true freshman, averaging just 3.5 minutes per contest.
