I pretty much agree with this.  Some of the names being thrown around as comparisons differ a bit in that they were trapped on the bench behind others and once given a shot had a good year followed by a great year.  BT has been getting big minutes since day one, and we're all pretty well acquainted with what he has to offer.
 
Southerland seems to fit the mold of a DNic slightly more than BT.  A guy that people have been clamoring about for a few years because of the "tools" and then as a Senior really takes off after getting increased run as a junior.
 
Triche is probably going to have a good year, and with more shots and the ball in his hands more often should improve upon his numbers, but I doubt he's going to shock us by featuring some never before seen ability.  He's an okay 3 point shooter - maybe he adds the ability to shoot coming around a screen like Andy, but so far he's been shooting mostly open set three and his percentage isn't all that great.
 
I'm also with SoBristol on the "slash all day" comment.  If someone can point out a game where he featured that ability I'd be happy to go back and watch it.  He had a couple games where he featured a nice drive and pull up in the lane (@UConn comes to mind), but he's never struck me as someone who is taking opposing guards off the bounce with any kind of regularity.  If he had that ability you would think it would stand out more.  Hopefully he becomes a better finisher as a Senior, that could help his numbers out a lot.
 
Either way we should be in good shape with a 4 year starter out there, and one we can count on to be consistent.   I can't really see a scenario where he gets drafted though - but I've been proven wrong there before.
