I will agree with most of this but I for one thought Drew had a pretty solid year. He has developed a very nice hook shot with either hand and also knocked down some mid range shots. I believe he is only in his 6th year of organized basketball while everyone else has been pretty much playing since they were little. He played almost 35 minutes per game and had several double doubles along with almost 70 blocks. I am definitely a glass half full person and will look forward to next year as I think we will be even more improved. I don't consider Drew next to worthless and I believe several teams in the league would love to have him for 2 more years. He was all conference honorable mention after all. Go Beavs! Breaking my promise to shut up, but I like Drew a lot- don't get me wrong. My opinion is that he gets jammed down low because of the lack of threat up top. I like his energy, his physicality. Last year, I got down on a few attempted slams that went sprong off the back rim instead of down the drain, but as someone said up above, the old days are gone--shine is more important than substance now so let it roll. I'm looking forward to next year--Seriously. New season, new goals, some new players. Let's see what happens. Been watching since Red Rocha/Cliff Crandall days--Lot's of good BB, mostly good. The recent past has been a real disappointment, but I think it is getting better overall. GZR No worries at all on breaking your promise. I enjoy the positive conversation. I totally agree with your take on Drew as he received a ton of attention since he wasn't getting any consistent help. Hopefully next year we can get more players involved (please stay healthy everyone) and that will free up more space for him to work with. Onword and upword.

Go Beavs! +1 Drew had a great season, building on a pretty nice freshman season. He, Tres, and Thompson are a nice nucleus. McLaughlin had a nice season on which to build. I don't know what the scholarship situation is for next year, but I'd love to see them add a quality JC power forward to team with Drew, Rak, and Kone on the front line -- and to go with a guard rotation of Stephen, McLaughlin, Ethan and Manuel. That will allow Tres to play anywhere from the 2 to the 4 to create mismatches. I think Reichle might be able to contribute some off the bench, and call me crazy but I think Stacy could give them a couple of good minutes a half playing against the other team's second string. If Malcolm comes back that gives Tink even more flexibility and the Beavers an actual bench unlike this year.
