#30 Henry Sims
Points Per Game	1.9
Rebounds Per Game	1.7
Assists Per Game	0.3
Blocks Per Game	0.6
Steals Per Game	0.3
Turnovers Per Game	0.5
Minutes Per Game	9.8
Field Goal Percentage	40.4%

Three-Point Field Goal Percentage	16.7%
Best Moment of Season	His energy off the bench in the home win vs. Providence that earned him a standing ovation from the Hoya faithful.
Needs to Improve Upon Most for Next Year	Bulk. As a freshman he showed good skills and awareness, but to be an impact player in the post in the Big East, Henry will need to put on a little muscle. He’s at the age where his body will bulk up a little anyway - the right time in the weight room will help.

Rebounds Per Game	6.5
Assists Per Game	2.5
Blocks Per Game	1.5

Needs to Improve Upon Most for Next Year	Strength on the ball - He gets fouled a lot, by bigs and by guards, but if he can fight players off just a little more, and hold the ball just a little longer he will earn a lot more free throws next year.

#22 Julian Vaughn
Points Per Game	1.8
Rebounds Per Game	1.7
Assists Per Game	0.6
Blocks Per Game	0.6
Steals Per Game	0.2
Turnovers Per Game	0.8
Minutes Per Game	8.8
Field Goal Percentage	45.7%
Free Throw Percentage	54.5%
Three-Point Field Goal Percentage	00.0%
Best Moment of Season	His 7 points and 8 rebounds against Savannah State.
Needs to Improve Upon Most for Next Year	Defensive rebounding. If he continues to be used as Monroe’s backup, he’s not going to be expected to fill the void on offense. Defensively he can make a huge impact if he pulls down 4 or 5 defensive boards per game.
