The San Diego State men’s basketball team held its first intrasquad scrimmage Saturday morning at Viejas Arena
, and it was about what you’d expect with four freshmen on the floor and without four banged-up veterans.
Florida Atlantic transfer Nick Boyd is still a couple weeks from live action, but he got good news Friday in the form of a positive scanand clearance to begin aggressive rehab . Middle Tennessee transfer Jared Coleman-Jones is out another week with a shoulder injury. USD transfer Wayne McKinney III and returning sophomore Miles Heide could be back sooner.
The 6-foot-8 Compton ran the floor, grabbed six offensive boards, scored inside and got to the line . He has struggled at times during practice grasping SDSU’s sophisticated defensive schemes and getting to the right spots on offense, but put him on a basketball floor with refs and a scoreboard, and the natural instincts take over.
The scrimmage opened with a pull-up jumper by Miles Byrd, who finished with 14 points and had a pair of 3-pointers with a more aggressive offensive repertoire than the 6-7 redshirt sophomore showed last season. He and DeGourville combined for all but three of their team’s 28 points. Redshirt freshman Magoon Gwath, the versatile 7-footer who impressed in practice over the final two months of last season after ankle surgery, did little for the scrimmage’s first six minutes. Then came a dominant stretch at both ends of the floor that included a rebound to start the break and a tip-dunk to end it, followed immediately by a midcourt steal, drive and Euro step to draw two free throws.
