to bad for Bruiser for getting that nasty leg injury. Word is a full recovery, but how he comes back is yet to be seen. I expect to see more bruises and scrapes now that Krabby is on the staff.
Lots to be excited about this year, bringing back talented big men, Marshall is someone to be excited about, and Dekker.
Conf will be tough this year, and wins will certainly be hard to come by. Should be an exciting season.
You can also catch Devin Harris on the Hawks, Greg Stiemsma on the Wolves, and Lrrr on the Cavs (OK, probably won't ever see Lrrr this year). Good luck to Do in the bucks camp, and Butch with the Jazz. Hope camp goes well for you young men and you get some more burn in the big show.

LePay just said on football pre game a month/six weeks for Bruiser...
I must not have been paying attention - what happened to Bruiser?
UW should be steady and reliable but I agree that if Marshall and Dekker can step up it would not surprise me at all to see Wisconsin in the mix for the conference title. You figure Ohio State and Michigan State will be decent for sure, but beyond that nothing is certain.

Indiana has everyone talking... Pretty solid roster. But I like the Badgers balance wise- no Taylor to defer to could make them that much better. I expect big things from Berggren this year.
Indiana should be decent but I don't know. They haven't exactly lived up to expectations under Tom Crean.
UW should be in the top 4 in the conference IMO.

I for one cannot wait to see Dekker. If he's for real, it could be a special year.
Josh Gasser out for the season with a torn ACL.
Yeah, hard that news. Crushing blow to the back court- but it's next man up. Marshall seems like the popular choice,but Brust also needs to break away from being a one dimensional player and become an option too. Dekker can handle the ball some- wonder if they'll have him doing a little point F before the season is out...
George Marshall will have to step up. Rumor was that he would be getting significant minutes anyway. Leadership and toughness of Gasser will be hard to replace though.
Bo needs a Zach Morley or a Chambliss type transfer ...
Need to head the JUCO route maybe.

Unfortunately, the backcourt is a real work in progress. Moreso than I thought. I like how Bruiser stepped up though- that's the guy that has been dreadful, but starting to maybe break out of it. If he can, he's the guy that can tilt things. They need scoring, and the other night he knocks down a pair of 3s and key FTs when the rest of the team crumbled offensively. Get that consistently and then they can avoid those disastrous scoring droughts.
