Andy Katz | NCAA.com Correspondent | September 30, 2019 5 predictions for the 2019-20 A-10 men's basketball season Andy Katz makes his Atlantic 10 predictions for 2019-2020 season Share It was somewhat of a down year for Kellan Grady and the Davidson Wildcats in 2019. Grady's scoring average, field-goal percentage and 3-point percentage all dropped from the previous season, and the Wildcats narrowly missed the NCAA tournament despite a 24-10 record. But Andy Katz expects the third-year guard to bounce back in 2019-20, which is why he picked Grady to win Player of the Year in the A-10 Conference. Check out the rest of Katz's A-10 predictions below. 2019 CONFERENCE PREDICTIONS: 5 Big East predictions | Big 12 | ACC | Big Ten | Pac-12 | SEC | AAC Andy Katz's 2019-20 A-10 predictions Player of the Year: Kellan Grady, Davidson Freshman of the Year: Tre Mitchell, UMass Underrated: Kyle Lofton, St. Bonaventure BIG DANCE: Predicting the 2020 NCAA tournament bracket less than 50 days to opening night Five important non-conference games 1.
