2011-2012 Wake Forest Demon Deacons College Basketball Preview:
Wake Forest is always a contender for stepping into the postseason spotlight. With a somewhat disappointing 2010-2011 season far behind them the squad is poised for another NCAA tournament appearance to add to its repertoire. Demon Deacon basketball is steeped in elite basketball tradition and fans will be more than pleased with the talent that was picked up by the organization in the offseason.
One of these new prospects is six foot guard Anthony Fields. In his hometown of Detroit, Fields was an explosively quick and well-conditioned player who was able to push the ball up the court and deconstruct other teams with a constantly pressuring defensive ability.
Another student-athlete looking to establish himself against other team's offenses is Daniel Green, a 6' 11" forward who uses his lean body to get under the basket and bring down rebounds. Although Green is tall and lanky he is also extremely athletic and is known for being able to splash jump shots down from outside the paint. Wake Forest looks to utilize the skills of players new and old for a dominant season in the ACC this year.
