What would Lucca average?

**mpc4isu7** · 11-21-2007, 04:42 PM

With everybody saying that with Lucca coming back we will be so much better i wanna know what people think he will average? Remember nobody has actually seen him play at the D-1 level. I would say 7 to 9 points a game

I say he would average 40+ and consume Hawkeyes with fire balls from his eyes and lightning bolts from his arse.

30 points and 20 boards. Oh wait, I thought you said Michael Beasley

FREEEEDOOOOMMMM!!!!

I think it would be in the 8-10 pt. range, but he would add a lot in terms of passing, and defense, since he is a bigger guard.

We'd be ranked in the top 10, undefeated, a definite NCAA 3 seed and we'd sell out every game.

I pee'd a little bit when I read that.

Probably around 10 points, but gives us better ball handling and Defense.

Agree. I don't know what he would average, but I like his frame. Our guards now are so thin, they just have a hard time defending or playing physical.

He would average more points than even Bill Brasky!!!

**ajk4st8** · 11-21-2007, 05:15 PM

I would rep your Bill Brasky comment but Im out.

But in all seriousness he is our best guard (if you dont consider Wes a guard)

Diante can handle the rock, but it is kind of hard when you have to do it all yourself.

**CrossCyed** · 11-21-2007, 05:18 PM

I could see 10 pts a game.

**dbronco7sc** · 11-21-2007, 05:27 PM

I don't think Lucca wouldn't be a consistent scorer. If we're in need of 3's... he could put up 20 plus in a game. If we're scoring comfortably down low... he could put up 6 and be more of a defender and distributer. It just seems like he's so versatile that he can do whatever it is that needs to be done (all hearsay of course as I've never seen him play... just going off what people have said about him in cap city and practices)

**Clone_12** · 11-21-2007, 06:02 PM

We need him as a ballhandler and a perimeter defender more than anything (same with Johnson)...but he would also be our best shooter.

**isuno1fan** · 11-21-2007, 06:06 PM

Good god...I pray he doesn't come back and lay an egg since everyone thinks he is the 2nd coming without seeing him play in a REAL game. As I said in another thread, Haluska tore up Cap City and we all see how that is translating to real games.

I would expect Lucca to be a solid contributor (10-25 min/game), but by no means an all Big 12 caliber player.

**Clone_12** · 11-21-2007, 06:12 PM

He won't be an all big 12 player as a freshman and nobody is saying he will be...he will be our best shooter, another ballhandler we desperately need, and a step up defensively from Haluska or Boozer...McDermott has said he will bring us something we don't have...a big physical guard that can bang with K-State and Missouri's physical guards, and shoot the 3 on a consistant basis.
