The specific skills that Drew Buggs brings with him to Hawai’i remain to be seen, but one characteristic has already been established – toughness.
Buggs underwent successful surgery last week to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and torn meniscus in his right knee. It might slow his progress leading into his freshman season with the University of Hawai’i basketball team, but if his recent history is any indication, he is willing to do whatever it takes to be on the court with his teammates.
“Just resting it right now, and I should be ready to begin rehab real soon,” said Buggs, a 6-foot-2 guard.
