In our rush to designate Oshea and Marek as next year's 38 minute a night guys, you need to remember that both are incomplete players.

Brissett doesn't finish that well though contact at the rim, although he is good at drawing fouls.  When he's not the 3rd option next year, it will be interesting to see if he gets called for charges more often, which may lead to more foul trouble than last year.

As for Marek, he's promising, but he only played well for about a month.  He's probably going to go through some growing pains next year, too.  He doesn't have much outside shot yet.  He's mostly the guy who makes hustle plays and is showing some midrange game.  But remember, he was the 4th option last year.

Since Brissett was better as a shooter from straight-on looks, and since Marek I don't believe made a 3 all season, I think we're going to see Braswell for 10 minutes a game.

It's really unlikely that Battle will be back, especially with 5 other guards on the roster.  But since one of those guards (HWashington) is coming off an ACL, he might not play until January, or maybe will redshirt if he doesn't make enough progress in recovery.  So I see Hughes, Carey, Frank and Buddy as a zone buster.

Likewise, if we get the center prospect, Osunniyi, I think he's going to see 10 minutes a game.  I feel like one of Chukwu or Sidibe is going to have times this year when they are physically limited.  It will be nice to have guys playing in the proper positions this year.
