There are a couple of things which JB will make abundantly apparent from the get go with this group. The first is that if you don't buy in and utilize your talents in the fashion that JB wants them utilized... JB has plenty of other options at the position at his disposal. The competition among the players on the team being 2 deep at every position bodes well for JB eliciting the best from each and every one of them. Who can forget JB's commentary about Roberson after a game in which his impact was nonexistent? 
The second thing is he will stress that they haven't accomplished anything yet!... that will be his mantra to both the team and all who posit questions in the post game pressers. Anyone would be foolish to think that JB doesn't think that this group has ALL the components to execute his vision of what the team needs to do to be the last team standing come April.

As far as equating Pascal to Fab... Chuckwu actually gives a few pounds to Melo but that will be offset by the additional inches. And I seem to recall the early hook for Melo was a frequent occurrence his first season and he wasn't the most teachable player in the post we've ever had. Certainly it wouldn't be a stretch to think that PC will have a greater affinity for picking up the nuances of the position than did Fab. A Boeheim  team with a viable 7 footer has been one which is very formidable ever since 2003.

Bottom line is we are poised to watch what promises to be an Uber exciting and promising season... the kind of season that we all dream about. Barring some really bad juju... I think we are in for one hell of a ride! I can't wait.
