But jun ior college transfer Andre Joseph, who averaged 22.3 points last season at Lee Junior College in Baytown, Texas, is expected to make major contributions at shooting guard. “Those are some big shoes to fill, and I’m trying to replace him as best as I can,” Joseph said of Jones, who was a first-round draft pick of the In diana Pacers. Jordan Kent, a basketball and track star at Eugene’s Churchill High, and fellow freshman Brandon Lincoln of Portland will also see some time at shooting guard. “This is the most talented team I’ve ever been on,” Joseph said. Senior Robert Johnson, who Kent said is capable of putting up a dou ble-double every night, will manage the power forward spot. Replacing Christoffersen in the post is senior Brian Helquist, who lost more than 20 pounds during the offseason and said it has helped his endurance. “He looks great. He’s even inspired me to lose weight,” Kent said. Redshirt freshman Ian Gross white, a native Australian, gives the Ducks a versatile backup at center.
