The incumbent at point guard, he should be one of the better floor leaders in the Big Sky Conference this season... very quick and strong for his size... a very competitive individual... will be counted on to lead the team.
COACH GEVING SAYS: “Lateef had some good games last year. The big thing for him is to be more consistent this year. I want his assist-to-turnover ratio to improve. His turnovers weren’t bad, but assist-wise he should average between five and six assists per game and be more of playmaker for us.”
