Coreontae DeBerry
I see him as a major contributor next year. He is going to continue to improve, the more he learns to assert himself. He took a HUGE step in that direction during the tournament imo. His conditioning and his feet are the only things holding him back. He has good touch, and can be surprisingly agile at times. He proved to himself that he can hang with anyone. Purdue and Kentucky definitely don't have slouches for big men. The more reps he gets against guys at a high level, the better we'll see him get. He will have a lot to do with our team success next year imo.

Ellis and Clark are the things holding him back. Those guys are going to get 30 minutes each because they do so much on both ends. They also don't seem to want to play Ellis and DeBerry together unless they are forced to. I'm not sure why that is. |

After watching the tournament, it does seem like DeBerry and Ellis should play together more. We could be pounding some AAC teams with that combo.

They all could play 25+ minutes a game. Clark should've seen time at the 3. Lyles from Kentucky was perfect match up for him instead he matched up against Stein.

Unless Quadri Moore makes a huge leap, I expect DeBerry to get more minutes next year. Although Shaq at the 4 can work against smaller line-ups, we are losing Sanders and will need Shaq's minutes at the 3 unless Evans is a stud from the start.
I hope we can find a way to get DeBerry on the court for 18-20 minutes per night, because I love his skill set. He's a very unique player -- has even shown the ability to put the ball on the floor. |

If Clark can add a strong 10-15 foot jumper to his game maybe. He's athletic enough to play the 3. But playing all three as are right now would be difficult IMO.
