Buzz Williams gets a big boost for his 1st season

That's a big plus for Marquette. Not so good for the rest of the conference.

Also a good move for James--not sure if his skills will translate into longterm employment in the NBA.

A scorer is always in demand.

You have to be able to score, and it remains to be seen if his size will allow him to be an effective scorer in the NBA.

I was thinking the same thing as Claw. When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was "Was this even in doubt"?

I hope for Marquette's sake, he has a great senior season, and does find a way into the NBA.

You don't have to make many baskets to score consistently, if you get to the free throw line regularly, plus he can drive and dish.

Bit: he (James) is what he is: a very good player who IMHO will be playing in Europe. Too small for the NBA.
