I think he has underachieved, and I think he has peaked in our system.

I think, despite the rebounding prowess, losing him will be like losing Paul Harris - a guy who doesn't quite work the best in our system, and who I fear (like you) will think that he has to show he is a 3 point shooter next year, when we really need him to turn into an elite offensive rebounder.  I don't know that his head will be willing to do that.

I look at our roster, and I see Hughes, Guerrier, Dolezaj and Braswell at forward.  If Guerrier is another C.J. Fair (my take on his skill set), then he may start with Hughes (or he might be the third guy behind Marek, and comes in when Marek moves to center).  In either case, we will be relatively fine at forward.

I think our biggest problem with next year's roster is that we already have very little rebounding and pencil-thin centers, with one exception (JBA), but he wants to be a stretch 4  like Elvir Ovcina, not a center.  Guerrier is pretty physical.  I don't know that he's going to get us 7 or 8 rebounds a game as a frosh that Brissett provided, but he might, and that's what we would need from him.
