J'Nathan Bullock continues to develop into one of the top all-around players in the Horizon League. Only the third Viking to lead the team in scoring as both a freshman and sophomore, he uses his strength and athleticism to create match-up problems for opponents at both ends of the court. A second team preseason all-league choice for the second straight year, he is slated to see more time at small forward this season, a move that will let him utilize his perimeter skills better while still allowing for him to use his quickness to get to the basket.
