BSW stepped up big in the game Buckets missed last season. And he was much more consistent in the “second scorer” role late. Playing at his more natural 3 position will help tremedously, as it did with original Scott Wood.
Best of luck to Warren. The son of a solid Wolfpack player became a real star and he seems like a class young man to boot. I don’t think he’s ready to contribute in the NBA yet, but once he improves his shot (see Clyde Drexler) he could easily be a poor man’s KD.
Playing BSW at the 3 puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the 4 & 5 to do almost all of the rebounding. TJ’s rebounding from the 3 spot was key to keeping us from getting totally destroyed on the boards this past season. That’s the one thing that makes me nervous about BSW at the 3. I’m not sure that KW will ever have the shot or the handles to play there but you might be able to steal some minutes by using him there for 3-4 minute stretches.
I love this sophomore class. If Cat doesn’t bolt for the NBA after next year, we might be unreal in 15-16. I don’t think being really, really good is out of the question for 14-15.
