minutes last season on a weak team, would be coming off the bench on a strong team. It's hard to say right now, but on paper, at least, next season's Bruins look to be a stronger team than last season, to say the least, and maybe just be a strong team by anyone's measure. That probably means that both Mack and Stefanovic will see their minutes and responsibilities decrease significantly.
I like both Mack and Stefanovic but Lazar is limited and I believe his upside ceiling is low and Sebastian just needs more time to develop his game to be a player that is consistent and plays within himself. Macks game has a lot of room to grow and I think his potential is very high, but he just needs the time to grow in so many areas. He has a long way to go to be the player he can be.
I believe Lazar will continue to improve and IMO made the right choice to come to UCLA. By the time he's through at UCLA I think Cronin will have him near or at the best he can be. He'll probably be set up nicely to have a fine career in Europe.
Mack, if he stays the course with Cronin and UCLA, could come out as a first round NBA choice. I think he is that good potentially. HE too IMO made the right choice to come to UCLA and I think he understands that because even though Cronin brought in a lot of guards he decided to stay. I think that speaks well for him.
