Just bank it. You heard it here first.  He really impressed me on the offensive end especially when he was in the game for 15+ min.  Yes, defense was an issue, but I think he will improve with confidence and conditioning.

Maybe 16ppg by his senior year, but I envision around 10ppg and 5 or 6rpg for 2011-2012.

While we are going out on a limb, my prediction is Devante gets drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft.

Bookmark this and save for July 2014.

And we will win the NCAA Championship in 2011-2012, Al will be canonized and Milwaukee will surpass Chicago as the economic and cultural center of the Midwest.

Milwaukee would have to pass Madison first, no?

Al hasn't already been canonized?

Al said he was looking for a deaf priest for his last confession so he could sneak into purgatory, so canonization may be a stretch, but God loves humility and good humor, so. I'm sure he is fine :-)

It sounds like devante is in good enough shape to putin 16+ this year. The question is still how many minutes he gets vs the great defensive minutes otule gives us.

Now if devante's conditioning results in him being at least average on defense, then I agree that we could have a deadly trio with him right up there with djo and jae giving junior lots of options for feeds.

That kind of fire power could really take the pressure off jamil, juan, vander and others to develop and define their games.

Part of defense is getting rebounds. Gardner is far superior to Otule in the catagory. I can see Gaardner starting, if he comes in 20-25 lbs lighter and I can see him averaging 16 points a game. I can see him becoming a great a college player, but I do not hink he will play in the NBA. He is not tall enough to play center in the NBA and I do not think even with losing weight he will have the athleticism to play power forward in the NBA and is probalby undersized for that position anyways.

I think Gardner will be a great player at Marquette.  He has great hands and the knack to score a lot of points.  If he starts the season 25 pounds lighter than last year, he will be a big factor for MU!

He is the one player I have seen in the last 5 years that can totally change an oppositions game plan.  Will be interesting to see if Gardner and Otule get shared playing time.

I'm looking for "ten pounds lighter" and "ten pounds stronger". 

And I expect him to make significant contributions this year.

I'm not sure if Davante will get to 16 PPG.....it depends on how much burn he gets.  I do think he will score in double figures and average the most points per minute.  He will be a BEAST.

From the MU Record book, only 8 sophomores in MU history have averaged 16+ ppg:

1. Mike Moran 20.4 ppg
2. Russ Wittberger 19.4 ppg
3. George Thompson 18.0 ppg
4. Jim Chones 17.9 ppg
5. Dwyane Wade 17.8
6. Tom Flynn 17.3
7. Dean Meminger 16.4
8. Bo Ellis 16.3

16 points/game would put Gardner ahead of Maurice Lucas (15.4 as a soph.).
