CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs historic 2015-16 season was among the best in school history. This is the second installment in our three-part position-by-position review checking out the wings (2s & 3s). Check out the opener here: point guards.
 
There was great continuity on the wings. You actually can't have more considering senior Eric Robertson and junior Tre' McLean started every contest at the 2 and 3, respectively, with senior Dee Oldham providing strong minutes off the bench.
 
"Dee and Eric, two seniors, everyone gets wrapped up with what they did on offense," coach Matt McCall began. "They were both terrific, but I think they became two of our more reliable defenders night in and night out. They're energy and passion, every single day, took our team to a different level.
 
"That's my concern for next year, we're losing two of our more energetic guys."
 
Robertson was the emotional leader and top 3pt gunner posting 8.6 points per contest. He produced with a target on his back as one of the best 3pt threats in the country. Oldham was arguably the top sixth man in the Southern Conference chipping in 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game. He was vital in the run to an outright SoCon Regular Season Championship with double-digit points in the last eight games leading into the postseason.
 
"Dee went into the game and seemed to get six or seven rebounds every single night," McCall continued. "His selflessness is what made him so great. There are a lot of guys in his position, who are seniors in college, have been through a lot that would get completely wrapped up in starting.
 
"He never did that. He accepted his role and brought it every single day."
 
McLean was the team's leading scorer at 12.1 points per game, top rebounder with 6.3 per contest and led in steals with a 1.6 average. His improvement from 2014-15 to 2015-16 was eye-popping.
 
"Tre' McLean, and I'd say this about Chuck Ester too," McCall added. "I'm not sure there were two guys in the country that had as big of jumps from one year to the next as those guys. It goes back to their work ethic. Tre' is another guy who gets completely consumed with the team and puts winning first. He was so reliable from the standpoint of what does the team need me to do on a given night?
 
"We moved him all around and it didn't matter. What he needed to do for the team, he did...and oh by the way, he was one of the best players in the league both offensively and defensively."
 
Point guards Greg Pryor and Johnathan Burroughs-Cook also saw time at the 2, while there was one other impact newcomer in freshman Peyton Woods.
 
"The moment was never too big for Peyton," McCall shared. "He always went in fearless and never really played like a freshman. With our depth, minutes were hard to come by. But when his number was called, he did his job, and he did it well.
 
"He's got a bright future in our program."
 
Woods certainly had a flair for the dramatic. He shot 46.7 percent (14-30) from 3pt range, but definitely stepped up in big games. His two first half triples in his debut off the bench in the overtime win at Georgia were key with foul trouble plaguing the squad. He also drilled a big three in the win at Dayton.
 
Alex Bran (2.9, 48.3% 3pt) had big moments as well, none bigger than two huge threes in the first half of the home win over Western Carolina. He and ZaQwaun Matthews also had a big impact on the scout team preparing their mates every time out.
 
Top performance on the wing in 2015-16?

• Tre' McLean averaged 27.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 3.0 steals per contests in the regular season sweep of in-state rival ETSU.
• Eric Robertson made five or more threes seven times with his top two performances on the road in wins at UNCG (7-11) and Mercer (6-7).
• Dee Oldham shook off a tough shooting performance with a career-best six steals in the SoCon semifinal win over Western Carolina.
• Peyton Woods shone on the big stage at the NCAA Tournament with five points and three rebounds in just 12 minutes including an impressive step-back trey in the opening frame.
