Miami (FL) Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Miami faces the task of replacing guard Jack McClinton, who was its top scorer from the past three seasons, but the Hurricanes welcome back three players who had at least 16 starts last season.

That includes forward Dwayne Collins, who started all 31 games in which he played. Collins withdrew his name from the NBA draft and is the team's leading returning scorer (10.6 points game) and rebounder (7.3)

Other players with returning experience are forward Cyrus McGowan (22 starts), guard James Dews (16), swingman DeQuan Jones (three) and forward Adrian Thomas (two).

The key for Miami will be how quickly newcomers fill in. Candidates include guard Malcolm Grant, a transfer from Villanova who sat out last season.
