Dwight Buycks graded by ESPN

Though Buycks will be a senior, I don't see his role increasing any more than last season. Definitely has zero chance to be the starting 1 guard.

Agree with that. No way he starts at Point Guard. I do not see him starting at all. Starters will be
PG Caddie
2G DJO
F Butler
F Crowder
C Otule
And plenty of depth: Blue, Bucyks, Jones, Newbill at Guards
                              Fulce, Williams, Jones, Bucyks at Forward
                              Gardner and Mbao at Center

That my starting five also and am really looking forward to Crowder, just like DJO last year.

I presume you believe Smith is the one out since he is not on your reserve list.  I hope it is not him, mainly for a quick backup point guard.

Most Juco's take a year to transition and become comfortable with their new team and competition. 

Umm...did you read Marquette84's post above? It's long, but it pretty much destroys this argument that you tried to make well after he posted it.

Ummm I did read it.  Don't necessarily agree with it.  Guess we will find out in due time if Buycks takes that big leap forward like I think he will.  Could be a transition year, could be his illness, could be his injury but the kid is a player and will make a big impact this upcoming year.  I personally believe as with all incoming players, freshmen, jucos, or whatever, there is a significant difference in commitment and competition at D1 basketball.  Its a different, much higher level of play.  Some handle it smoother than others.  Some do it sooner, some later.  You don't think DJO looked like a total different player from beginning of year to end of year?  Buycks albeit not as talented as DJO would have made a similar adjustment but had the misfortunate of illness/injury at the wrong time of year.
