Why Stanford can cover

Junior guard Oziyah Sellers transferred from USC and gives the Cardinal a smooth scorer. Sellers has a reliable jumper while using his length to be a solid perimeter defender. The California native dropped 24 points, seven rebounds and went 10-of-15 from the field in the season opener. He also knocked down two 3-pointers and snagged two steals. 

Senior forward Maxime Raynaud is a skilled playmaker in the frontcourt. Raynaud can knock down perimeter jumpers and owns the awareness to be effective on the boards. He led the team in rebounds (12) with 16 points and six assists in the win over Denver. Last season, he logged 15.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game for the Cardinal. See who to back at SportsLine.
