will surprise a lot of people. The way he came on toward the end of last season, the path he was on to get there, and what appears to be his great amount of determination all lead me to think that he will even be much more improved and effective this season. His mobile and has really long arms which allow him to play taller than his 6'11" frame. He was becoming a bigger inside presence on both sides of the ball as the season progressed and with that and his outside shooting I think he may be tough to handle. I think (or maybe its hoping) that he will be an inside fixture and a starting five fixture throughout this coming season. I believe Jovic will mostly spell Booker and in doing so will give the Bruins another look forcing their opponent to have to adjust. From this far out I think the starting five will be Perry at PG, Petty at off guard, Booker in the middle, Kusturica at the wing, and Dailey at the power position. The bench offers a multitude of looks which could keep their opponents off balanced. Right now I think the prospects for this upcoming team look good or at least interesting with a promise of being a top 20 team and the potential to be even better than that depending on how things play out. To my eye right now I think the keys are just how much Booker will improve, how well Perry can run the team, and how quickly Kusturica will adapt and adjust to D1 ball. I think there is potential for this team to have a really good season, but there's a lot of time and possible twists and turns that may occur between now and then.
