Power Forward: Bonzie Colson (5.6 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 0.4 APG)

Bonzie Colson brought the energy to Notre Dame down the stretch. Colson chipped in multiple double-digits performances against Georgia Tech, Boston College, Syracuse, Louisville and Duke.

At only 6’5″ 225 lbs., Colson gives up a significant amount of size to other big men but he is able to make up for it with a 7’2″ wingspan.

Colson was ferocious in spurts. Can he parlay this into a full 30 minutes? Colson will need to improve on his stamina in order to take a leap forward in 2015. He averaged 12.1 minutes per game but reached 26 minutes against Duke.

Colson’s offense will be need to maintain winning at an elite level.
