Brandon Maclin - Drops 19 off bench Maclin produced 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 70-61 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Maclin scored a season-best 19 points off the bench Wednesday, also setting season highs in field goals made (eight) and attempted (15). It marked his seventh consecutive game with double digit points off the bench, an impressive mark of consistency for a non-starter. Over that stretch he's averaging 13.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.4 minutes per game.

RJ Smith - Scores 13 in loss Smith closed Wednesday's 70-61 loss to Georgetown with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 31 minutes.

Impact Smith tied a season high with 13 points in Saturday's loss, the majority of which came on his three made three-pointers. He also logged four assists for just the fifth time this season and set a new season-high with two steals. It was a solid performance for the point guard and at this point appears to be the celling for him given his relatively low volume.

Kruz McClure - Well-rounding outing off bench McClure (undisclosed) logged five points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 67-60 win over Seton Hall.

Impact McClure was a question mark for the Blue Demons' clash with Seton Hall on Saturday, but the wing returned after two straight absences and notched an all-around performance, offering production on the boards, as a passer and on the scoreboard. The more consistently available the freshman is, the more is game is likely to grow.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Fabián Flores - Available against Seton Hall Flores (calf) will be available for Saturday's game against Seton Hall.

Impact Flores will make his return to action after sitting out against Butler on Tuesday. The 7-foot-2 sophomore, who is averaging 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds on 11.3 minutes per game this season (15 games), will look to make an impact in his return.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Kruz McClure - Questionable Saturday McClure (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Seton Hall.

Impact McClure, who has missed four of DePaul's last five games due to undisclosed reasons, will likely come down to a game-time call for the Blue Demons on Saturday. The 6-foot-6 freshman is averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals on 17.8 minutes per game this season (15 games).

NJ Benson - Scores 11 versus Butler Benson provided 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 87-80 loss to Butler.

Impact Benson put together a solid performance, scoring in the double figures for the 11th time this season. He made three of his eight shots from the field and attempted (and missed) his second shot from beyond the arc this season. He also grabbed six boards and recorded two assists in the loss.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Maclin - Scores 12 in fifth straight contest Maclin contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 87-80 loss to Butler.

Impact Maclin recorded 12 points in his fifth straight game Tuesday, a good mark of consistency especially for a player coming off the bench. He sunk two three-pointers and hit four of his seven shots from the field. Although he's not part of the starting lineup he's playing big minutes as of late, averaging 29.2 minutes per game across his last six contests and averaging 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds over that stretch.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Théo Pierre-Justin - Scores 12 versus Butler Pierre-Justin closed Tuesday's 87-80 loss to Butler with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes.

Impact Pierre-Justin made his second straight start Tuesday and played well in his season-high 24 minutes of action. He tied a season high with 12 points, all of which came on his season-high four three-pointers. He also recorded three assists and grabbed two rebounds in the loss. He's seen an uptick in minutes across the last three games and he's played well, so it seems like he'll continue to be an important part of the rotation moving forward.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

CJ Gunn - Solid in Tuesday's loss Gunn recorded 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 32 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 87-80 loss to Butler.

Impact After scoring a season-high 31 points Friday versus Marquette, Gunn had another solid performance Tuesday. He scored 16 points in the loss and could not replicate his excellent shooting performance from Friday, only hitting two of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc. He also made an impact on the defensive end, recording a season-high four steals and blocking one shot before he fouled out for the fourth time this season.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Layden Blocker - Scores 20 off the bench Blocker finished Tuesday's 87-80 loss to Butler with 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact Blocker came off the bench for the first time this season, making way for Theo Pierre-Justin as the Blue Demons opted for a bigger lineup to start Tuesday's contest. The move did not affect Blocker's play or playing time as he logged a season-high 20 points in the loss. He shot under 50 percent from the field in his fourth straight contest, but he made all six of his free throws and hit two shots from beyond the arc. It's unclear if his move to the bench will be a permanent one, but it appears it won't matter either way.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Fabián Flores - Question mark Tuesday Flores (undisclosed) is questionable to face Butler on Tuesday.

Impact Flores hasn't missed a game since Dec. 9, but he's in danger of changing that Tuesday at Butler. The bench forward averages 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds across 11.3 minutes this season.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
