Basketball Player Preview: Bullish On Trent Buttrick

Position: small forward, power forward, center.

Height: 6-foot-8

Weight: 234 pounds

Trent Buttrick scored 13 points last season against Alabama while hitting all of his 3-point attempts, going 5-5 from the field. It was the only time through two seasons that he made more than one field goal in a game. That being said, Buttrick was a critical substitution early last year and showed glimpses of his upside.

Penn State may not need Buttrick to play more than a handful of minutes per game this year, but they should get a lot more production from him then some people expect.
