Buycks and Fulce will surprise.  It's the same senior thing we saw with Acker and Cubillan.


The only reason Acker and Cubillan played so much last year is because they had to.  Don't get me wrong, they did play well, but IMO comparing Buycks and Fulce to either one of them simply means that they will be serviceable players.

I think Buycks will step up, but I don't think Fulce will be anything more than a bit player - not very strong and limited offensively.  I hope someone saves this and proves me wrong though.

+1

I think Buycks will be solid.  I don't think he'll be a star or put up ridiculous stats but I expect him to provide a major contribution.

Fulce = poor man's Jamil Wilson.  I think he'll be a contributer but expect him to lose minutes as the season goes on.  I would love for him to prove me wrong because he seems like a great teamate that has worked hard and done everything asked of him, but we have some talent and depth now that we didn't have last season.

I will say Erik Willaims, Otule and Junior will be solid contributors.  Buycks could be solid, but he should really take the example of DJO and Butler, that being just take high percentage shots within his skill set.  He seemed to take many off balanced bad shots last season.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people are discounting Junior....a top 50 recruit who was injured all of last year.

Jae Crowder

He will be even better than DJO was last year.

I agree, he carried his JC team.

I agree.  Fulce becoming a serviceable bit player last year probably makes him the surprise player for 2010 since it was unknown if he would even be able to play coming off his knee surgery.

I would be higher on him, if I had not seen him play last year.

+1 and I think that Otule's starts will be in the same vein as Dwight Burke's were a couple of years ago.  Play the tip and the first couple of minutes before giving way to a smaller rotation type of thing.

When does boot camp start? I cannot remember, if this is in August or after school starts. If it is in August does this mean that Crowder will miss it? If so, then I think Crowder will be the surprise player in that he will not play much.

Boot camp, the past two years, has been from October 8th through the 14th.
