Who does the dirty work?

If Maric is a typical European big man who loves to shoot from the outside, who does the dirty work down low for us: inside offense, blocks, rebounding? For a freshman, his numbers weren't bad, but they were not the sort that reflect a commitment for blue collar work. Only 4.5 boards per game is not going to impress anyone from your tallest player.

Bankston is the logical nominee for a hard hat power forward, and he certainly does the low down offensive work and the blocks. But there again, 4.5 boards per game needs to go up. It was obvious on this team that no one instinctively thought rebounding first.
