10. Ole Miss Rebels

Previous Ranking: 10

While former Ole Miss guard Jarkel Joiner did recently transfer to NC State, the Rebels are still set to return almost all of their projected 2022-23 starting lineup from earlier this offseason. The one transfer addition that the Rebels have made is certainly a big one as well in Jackson State forward Jayveous McKinnis, a four-year starter and three-time SWAC Defensive Player of the Year.

Updated Ole Miss 2022-23 Starting Lineup Prediction

  • PG Daeshun Ruffin
  • SG Matthew Murrell
  • SF Jaemyn Brakefield
  • PF Jayveous McKinnis
  • C Malique Ewin 

9. Vanderbilt Commodores

Previous Ranking: 9

The Commodores did have a few players enter the transfer portal, but also added a big addition in UC-Davis transfer guard Ezra Manjon, a three-time All-Big West selection and career 13.9 PPG scorer. Vanderbilt also added another guard to their 2022 class in three-star Paul Lewis, a name who could see time as a freshman in 2022-23.

Updated Vanderbilt 2022-23 Starting Lineup Prediction

  • PG Ezra Manjon
  • SG Tyrin Lawrence
  • SF Myles Stute
  • PF Jordan Wright
  • C Lee Dort
