Playing in its first season in the Atlantic 10, Virginia Commonwealth gets to immediately show off one of the top big men in the country in Juvonte Reddic. With the ability to dominate the game inside, Reddic was one of three Rams to score in double figures a season ago. How important is he to the Rams? In five of the team’s seven losses, Reddic fell short of scoring 10 points. As Reddic goes, so do the Rams.
