....(as I looked at the Big East Pre-season all league team) I saw dribble guards and Davante Gardner, who thinks he's one.....
"I do think that he's ready for the next step, and I think he's as prepared as you can be having never been in that role to be ready for that role."
~ Buzz Williams, on Derrick Williams taking over as the starting point guard.
Glad all of us here at Scoop know more than Buzz. And this is coming from a guy who is known to say "We ain't no good!" about a team he takes to the Elite Eight. No doubt in my mind Derrick is ready to go, and Buzz's words just confirm that for me.
Toughness.
