Playing time as a freshman other then Cullen VanLeer @ Missouri

If I had to pick one who will get playing time as a freshmen other then Cullen VanLeer, it would be Little Jimmy Whitt. Can we name other Missouri recruits who will get playing time as a freshman?
 
metro, how do you see VanLeer at Mizzou?

Impact player, steady role player, zone-buster type, etc.
Are you concerned at all about quickness?

There appears to be a place for " Basketball Players " in the NCAA

Franklin County basketball is a long way from SEC basketball however after viewing Wisconsin and Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament, I've gotta think there a place for the 6'4" shooting guard from Pacific, Missouri. Cullen VanLeer has a high basketball IQ with the ability to hit any open shot within 21 feet from the basket. I believe Cullen can adjust to the level of play @ the D-1 level.

I do not believe quickness will be an issue because of his better then average lateral movement but may need to play back a step when defensive a penetrating guard. Cullen will need to use the hand up and " One step back approach " when defensing the triple threat position but that's not uncommon with the high level of quickness in the SEC.

It is difficult to bet on the come but I'm betting the high level basketball IQ, the ability to adjust and the need for a big three point threat @ Missouri will provide opportunities for Cullen VanLeer and he takes advantage of his opportunities.
