Another player who deserves mention is Marcus Bingham Jr.

With Xavier Tillman gone, Bingham will potentially be starting at the five for Michigan State and pick up most of the slack on defense.

In 2019, Bingham averaged 1.4 blocks per game while playing only an average of 11 minutes. His defensive presence is a growing concern for opposing teams as he continues to put on weight each offseason.

With hope, Bingham will clean up his offense a big and refine his defense to become a great Michigan State basketball big man. With his length and offensive potential, he could become a great big man for the Spartans in 2020-21 and beyond.
