Freshman Carlos Medlock poised to support Jeremy Fears at MSU

Michigan State freshman Carlos Medlock is being positioned as a key backup point guard behind Jeremy Fears this season. Medlock, a top-50 recruit, aims to alleviate the heavy minutes that Fears endured last year after backup Divine Ugochukwu's injury. At the Moneyball Pro-Am, Medlock impressed with a 36-point performance on July 7, highlighting his scoring ability. Fears has been integral in mentoring Medlock, emphasizing the importance of his development for the Spartans' future. Medlock must adjust to the demands of major college basketball but is expected to contribute significantly this season.
