Who will improve the most this summer?

I wasn't saying Oto will develop into the player Rickert was... I just said if he can hit an outside shot as a taller 4 it will really open things inside. I also agree that Oto is very gritty and willing to do the dirty work, ala Dusty, that the 3 i mentioned werent necessarily known for.
 

You have to go to HP summer league to find out! JK.

But summer league did tell us that Andre was going to be a stud and Austin improved his handeling and shooting & Chip was going to be behind Joe in the line-up.

When i lived in town I really enjoyed pulley. But some people like Bauer and Esslink really dominated there but it didn't always transfer to the big ten. There are lots of guard in h. pulley so i think it's a better indicator if you can dominate as a guard there you may be able to transfer that to the big ten. I think as far as big men go, there are far fewer top players with both skill and athleticism that can match some of the big ten matchups (ohio st, mich st).
 

I cannot WAIT for Howard Pulley this summer. As I've said before, HP won't tell you who will be good, but it can tell you who will not be good. And it'll show you the potential. I'm excited for Gopher basketball, and my first taste will be HP.
 





Rodney Williams. He knows he needs to make a big splash this season to potentially be a first round pick.

I would put the over under on ESPN Top 10 Plays at about 11 for next season.
 

I like Oto, but I really don't think his game translates to be as good as Bauer or Rickert.

I think the Grim comparisons are apt. As other people have said, Rickert is a genuinely skilled big man. He could rebound and score (more than just a shooter). Bauer was considerably more athletic and I even think grittier.

I hope Oto turns into a guy who is a real good shooter and adequate at everything else.
 



I think Oto may have a little bit of the "Dusty" in him. I don't think he will be a star but he seems to have a good feel for the game and some grit.
 

I also think Oto won't have as big of a role as either of those players had. Oto doesnt have to carry this team in any way, if so we are in trouble. I was just saying one of the skills those two had was a solid 3pt shot as taller fowards. IF oto finds his touch it would really open up things for Trevor, MO, EE inside.
