Final Projection: What has made Morgan State so dominate in the MEAC is their interior play. Kevin Thompson and Aric Brooks have formed a superb interior duo and will be even better this year. Thompson was a double-double machine last year, averaging 13.1 points and 9.1 rebounds. He is an efficient interior scorer who can play some solid defense as well. Brooks is often overlooked due to the star power of Jackson and Thompson, but he is a great power forward in this system. He can score inside and out and is even a pretty good passer for a 6-6 forward.
