KANSAS CITY — One of West Virginia’s new players is 6-foot-7 point guard Jermaine Haley, who Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said could be a nice addition to the team’s trapping defense, because of his size and length.
Haley had four points and five rebounds in last week’s scrimmage.
The trend for some time in college basketball has been to look for sizable guards, although the Mountaineers won 26 games last season with Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr., with neither one standing taller than 6-foot-2.
“He’s very skilled and has good ball skills,” Huggins said.
