Oh no!  I don't know how this team can possibly survive without the player who will bring back the team's highest turnover rate, lowest ORtg, and the lowest eFG%!


<sarcasm off>

Edit - ORtg

I hope he's being counted on to play better than last year, sure. But can he deliver?  His body of work last year was suspect, to be kind.   And with Cadougan, Smith, Blue & Jones now in the mix for the MU backcourt -- Buycks is the veteran with the most to prove and the most to lose.

Yeah, it's about the time of year where foot injuries materialize for 2-3 players.

If he's not on crutches in addition to the boot, it's probably either a minor injury or just a precautionary measure.

I hope your hate works out like the Acker hate did last year.

Also, who is going to step up on the team to take the terribly inefficient, long jumper from just inside the arc?

Buycks!!!  He is the roster's current Master of the MISIB, aka the Most Inefficient Shot in Basketball...u know, that fadeaway 19-footer or the floating 17-footer that often bails out a defense (sometimes with a cool, gratuitous scissor kick for emphasis!).  The McNeal special!  Of course to get to the point of taking a terrible shot Buycks has to ensure that his team still has possession of the ball -- also an issue for him.

Love that term, MISIB, Henry.  I think u invented it, no?

;D

Buycks will be an important player on this years team.  Though he may have had a marginal year last year, he has A LOT of talent - and by all accounts really improved his jumper over the summer.  Think we need to lay off the Buycks hate.

Should we just get the "players are over-worked in the preseason" argument out of the way now?  And then we can overanalyze the Marquette Madness scrimmage, followed by the exhibition and cupcake games.  And then we can all talk about how the student section sucks because they're not drunk enough.  And then we can all jump off a cliff after MU loses a game they have no business losing.  And then we get knocked out in the first weekend of the tournament by losing a really tight game.

See you next season, everyone!

The jumper is not the issue; shot selection & a loose handle are.

I hope Buycks has a huge senior year -- the transition from JUCO to the Big East must have been very difficult.

Post by: PuertoRicanNightmare on September 22, 2010, 02:19:24 PM
I thought Buycks at the beginning of the year was, understandably, a little overwhelmed. By the end of year, he was a completely different player as far as accepting his role with the team.

I'm anxious to watch him this year as I think he's going to be a really solid player for the Warriors.

Post by: LON on September 22, 2010, 02:19:34 PM
At his height and size, Buycks rebounds exceptionally well.  I agree he needs to be smarter with the ball, but don't focus only on that one aspect of his game.  I think he's going to have a really good year.

he was....for example, his TO% was awesome in the last 4-5 games last season.  Seemed like he 'got it' late

He's got some shake to his game.

Might be a good energy guy off of the bench. Also, he's athletic enough to be a good ball-hawking defender... but I just haven't seen enough of him to know if he can really do it.

Definitely has potential to be a good role player.

I think Buycks game translates better in that environment. He does a real nice job finishing at the rim, especially for a guy who's not a high flyer.

My issue with Buycks other than his low shooting percentage, is that he's a ball stopper. Many times he dribbles without a purpose, which leads to stagnate offense.

For Buycks to make an NBA roster it will have to be as a point guard.  He's too small to play a shooting guard position.

that's a pretty ridiculous prediction, a guy who will most likely be our 6th man getting to the NBA? we aren't duke/kansas/kentucky/unc... i think dwight can be a good contributor assuming he makes better decisions with the ball. i'm sure the boot is a minor issue or else we would have heard more by now.

Haha, he definitely could! Nothing like east-west dribbling.

In another thread there was a discussion on last year's low turnover numbers and how Buzz's coached teams in general have always had a very low turnover rate...

Well, I think one of reasons for that is guys in Buzz's offense dribble with a purpose... You don't see a lot of ball stoppers. I don't think its much of a surprise that Buycks, the team's biggest ball stopper, had the highest turnover rate.

Absolutely 100% dead on Rjax...I think Db has a tremendous amount of skill and ability.  the fact that DB was scoring 40 a game in the pro/am came as no surprise to me that type of format/game is perfect for him.

His issues last year were exactly as you stated ...dribbling without a purpose..stagnating the offense...and poor shoot selection....i would add a little too loose a handle for all his dribbling too.  his handles are not an issue for hs, juco or pro/am or even mid major ball...BE is a wholly different story.  if he can improve going into this year on those areas he can have a very productive year.  I like his chances...the transistion can be difficult and if he addressed his challenges beginning last April i beleive he can over come them.

As afar as Buycks being in aboot...can this board finally stop going into hysterics every time a student says they saw a player in a boot?  standard procedure anymore is for anytime a player even tweaks a foot or ankle to put them in aboot until the pain goes away and rehab the whole time.  OK. Wesley wore a boot almost his entire senior season and managed to do ok.  last i knew he still has his foot.  expect to see every single player on the team in a boot at some point

+1  I saw him at one of the pro am games and he was awesome.  Huge improvement in shots and shot selection, and those who went to most of the pro am games say that he was pretty consistently good.

I'm going to school specializing in the foot and ankle.  A boot is useful for countless minor problems including things such as tendinitis, sprains, etc.  Yes, there is risk of these problems lingering but I wouldn't worry about it.  A boot is probably a good sign because they must want him to remove it for rehabilitation purposes while more serious conditions require immobilization.  Now if anyone sees him with a cast on, that's a different story.

what post in this thread made you think anyone is in 'hysterics'?  One guy says 'anyone know what happened?' rest were all jokes about how it wasn't a big deal, isn't a big deal even if serious, or perdictions that he's going to the NBA.  How do you get 'hysterics' out of that?
