Tennessee basketball: Turner and Bowden need to play big next season

The Tennessee basketball team could potentially lose four starters from last year’s 31-win squad if Jordan Bone stays in the 2019 NBA Draft. What will the Vols look like? Where will the scoring come from?

Tennessee’s recruiting class took shape, and it turns out there is a lot of unknown talent. I think we all expect Josiah-Jordan James, who is ranked 28th in the nation according to 247Sports, to contribute a lot.

However, there are two players who Tennessee needs to play big to have success, and that is Lamonte Turner and Jordan Bowden.

Over the last five games of the season, Turner and Bowden appeared in the lineup that Rick Barnes used 25 percent of the time.
