Greetings from Milwaukee! Here for Marquette practice. The new era begins now!

It won't be this season, but Marquette's Luke Fischer will eventually develop into one of the best big men in the Big East. 6-11 + skilled.

Marquette won't have a player on its roster taller than 6-7 until Luke Fischer is eligible. Undersized team for first eight games of 14-15.

Early prediction on Marquette's initial starting five --- Derrick Wilson, Matt Carlino, Jajuan Johnson, Deonte Burton, Steve Taylor...

Marquette needs multiple players to have breakout seasons to be a surprise Big East team. Likeliest candidates --- Johnson, Burton, Taylor.

Expect Matt Carlino to potentially challenge D'Angelo Harrison as one of the top scorers in the Big East. Should put up gaudy numbers.

Marquette has named Derrick Wilson and Juan Anderson as captains for the 14-15 season, per Golden Eagles SID Scott Kuykendall.

Derrick Wilson to start? Somebody call 911 and get an ambulance to Ners' house.

BM1090 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:36:19 PM »

Think Derrick will be much more suited to play with the other four projected starters. All four of them are aggressive offensive players. It was never going to work with Derrick, Juan, Jake, and Chris on the floor.

Not surprised at all that Derrick would be starting.

Derrick haters about to become Wojo haters if this proves to be true?

Honeymoon is over.......lol

Rothstein's stuff is always great. Works as hard as anyone.

BCHoopster · « **Reply #8 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:47:16 PM »

With no bigs, Derrick is a physical type player, I see it. Duane has not played one game yet. Need somebody to play some D.

JTBMU7 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:50:51 PM »

Derrick starting (if it happens) would not surprise me at all. Didn't surprise me last year to start either. We all assumed he would probably begin the year there with Duane eventually taking over, but obviously injuries didn't allow that to happen... i would assume if everyone is healthy we would see something similar this year as well, or at least that's what i am hoping...

This is the first Marquette team I can remember that doesn't have a clear cut alpha dog. Who steps into that role in 14-15? TBD.

Doesn't Ners have a bet with someone about derricks minutes?

Things gonna get real interesting, real quick

MuMark · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:53:04 PM »

Didn't somebody on this board guarantee that Juan was going to start?

Not sure anyone should be surprised a high character senior who just logged 937 minutes the previous year is starting. What will surprise me is if he plays more than 17 minutes per game conference play.
If he does, it will only be the result of his hard work having improved his jump shot to the point he is a threat to shoot and score from the perimeter. Simply won't see him playing 17 minutes or more if he's defended the way he was last year.

Derrick Wilson starting doesn't necessarily mean Derrick getting more minutes than Duane.

I don't mind having Duane come off the bench as the first sub at the 1 or the 2.

Remember Carlino's interview from early this summer. There may not be a designated point guard. Just a bunch of guards. Could end up switching who brings the ball up every time down the court.

Truth. Yet with all of his basketball acumen and experience in the game, Buzz couldn't seem to figure the last part out. (Right.)

Well, if you think he'll get 17 mpg you'll lose our wager - want out for 450?

Derrick was ineffective on offense last year.

However, he does several things really well.

#1 Defense
#2 Rebound
#3 Doesn't turn it over

That type of PG can be effective, but he needs guys around him that can shoot and score.

So, while I understand some of the frustration last season, we should also keep in mind that Derrick might be a good fit in a young line-up with some offensive potential. Let Derrick manage the game, and let the other guys do the shooting and scoring.

Mix and match with Duane as applicable.

I'm surprised with Derrick starting talk. I suppose it's a name versus starters minutes but with as small as the line-up is without Fischer I would think Derrick's issues would be even more pronounced. I think Derrick becomes more valuable once Luke is available, but maybe I'm an idiot.

No thanks. I wouldn't get too excited if I were you - not until you see Derrick draining some 3's and perimeter jump shots at a 25+% clip - then you may have some hope. Being named a starter isn't worth a whole lot - you should know as your guy Buzz started guys like Jake and Juan over Todd and Deonte. LOL.

Let's hope so...

And let's not get carried away with Number 3 - when you never push the ball in transition and rarely penetrate to the paint, and your defender is 5' off of you - it's pretty hard to turn the ball over. Even a wrestler wouldn't turn the ball over much when defended as Derrick was last year. LOL
