Big Apple All-MAAC Preseason Picks

[SIENA1971]

Daly Dose of Hoops:

5) Siena - Every year, one team always comes up from the bottom of the standings to finish near the top, and with a new coach, no less. Two years ago, Manhattan engineered a fifteen-win turnaround to finish third in the MAAC in Steve Masiello's first season. Last year, Rider quietly finished second for Kevin Baggett in his first year. This season, our pick for that title is the Saints, with Jimmy Patsos having bolted Loyola for Loudonville to replace Mitch Buonaguro. Patsos' uptempo style has already made differences in several of his players during Siena's trip to Montreal last month, most notably shooting guard Rob Poole and freshman Marquis Wright, who will start at the point. Evan Hymes also returns, and should be ready to go for opening night after suffering a broken hand in Montreal. Up front, Siena may be somewhat undersized with Brett Bisping and Imoh Silas at the forward positions, but Patsos has made up for it with the signing of Lavon Long, who arrives in the capital region with mounds of hype and a game that will win him his share of fans sooner rather than later.
