Yohan Traore - Scores 15 off bench Traore accumulated 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 FT), six rebounds and one block across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 88-58 victory over Southern Indiana.
Impact Traore opened the season as the Bulldogs' backup center, but that did not stop him from having a solid performance. He led the Bulldogs' bench with 15 points while shooting 60 percent from the field, and it could've been more but he only made half of his six free throw attempts. He played nearly as many minutes (16) as Drayton Jones (17) who started at center, so early signs suggest that Traore has a chance to take over a starting spot if he continues to perform well.

Jamie Kaiser - Double-double in Wednesday's opener Kaiser racked up 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and 10 rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 88-58 victory over Southern Indiana.
Impact Kaiser started the season opener Wednesday and put together a good performance as he was one of two Bulldogs to record a double-double. He shot 50 percent from the field and from beyond the arc and grabbed three offensive boards. He was one of four Bulldogs to play at least 22 minutes, indicating he's set to have a big role in the rotation this season.

Michael Ajayi - Scores 24 in season opener Ajayi supplied 24 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 88-58 victory over Southern Indiana.
Impact Ajayi made his Butler debut Wednesday and it went extremely well. He scored a team-high 24 points, thanks in large part to his 14 free throw attempts, grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds and ranked second on the team in assists with five. He looked like the focal point of the Bulldogs' offense in the opener, and if he can maintain that role he could be in for a very productive season. He faces two more tune up games before the first difficult test of the season at SMU on Nov. 15.

Devin Curtis - Scoreless in return Curtis (undisclosed) posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two blocks over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 88-58 loss to Butler.
Impact Curtis struggled to make an impact off the bench in this blowout loss. Even if Curtis stays healthy and continues to see minutes off the bench, he might have enough playing time to make a consistent impact in fantasy.

Trey Thomas - In starting lineup Thomas (leg) is starting for Southern Indiana against Butler, David Jacobs of the Butler Collegian reports.
Impact Thomas was a question mark heading into Southern Indiana's opener, but the senior guard will in fact play and start.
