Melvin Buckley

If I'm correct, this guy is a natural 3 but maybe forced to play the 4 next yr.  Does anyone know for sure?  Coach M really needs some big bodies ASAP.  Hopefully Konimba can give a quality 20 mins next season (6/6).

[Velcro]

I don't see him playing the 4... Cann might play the 4, as he is a bigger body than Buckley, but the same height.

PG - Mosley? 6'3"/Howard 6'3"/Dennis 6'3"/Capko 6'0/(Juco xfer?)

SG - Dennis 6'3"/Prek 6'6"/Holmes 6'2"/Mosley? 6'3"

SF - Buckley 6'6"/Prek 6'6"/Cann 6'6"/Mattis 6'8

PF - Jones 6'11"/Cann 6'6"/Diarra 6'10"

C - Jones 6'11"/Diarra 6'10"/Recruit? Smith?

Buckley has a very natural shot. Watching him in pratice is a treat. This guy can shoot the ball from anywhere. To go with his game, he is a great guy. Easy to talk to and very friendly. He loves to play basketball. It will be fun to watch him next year.

Not only does he have a great shot and is a great guy but he is also super smart....I gotta believe that if Mosley comes back like he says he will the line-up will most likely look like this:

PG:  Howard

SG: Mosley

SF: Buck

PF: Cann or Jones

C:  Jones or Diarra

I would like to see Diarra get more minutes because I think he is the best post defender we have and with plenty of scorers, I think a defensive minded big guy will help  out a lot

Mosely is in a far bigger battle than any BB game. I wouldn't count him in any line ups at this point. Just be thrilled if he beats this cancer. It will be the most remarkable medical story I've heard. Better than Lance Armstrong considering the type of cancer.

All the power to you, Bradley Mosely. Stay strong.

Buckley isnn't the second best player on the current team, he is the best.

TL is having a strong year and is a great player but Buckley is the man!

[Bull Matrix]

Playing in practice it one thing. Playing in actual games like Leather is another. Omni, I hope you are right about that assestment on Buckley because we are going to need it next season after Swift and Leather are both gone.

[Velcro]

I was reluctant to call him the best player because Leather is actually playing and is a senior.

Different position then TL so comparisons probably won't be fair.  He can shot the three probably as good as anyone on the team right now.  Bein you where close, he had a career high against LSU of 20 points in the NCAA tournament.
