Clemson didn’t have a stellar offseason a year ago, but the pieces Coach Brad Brownell did add worked out anyway. It’s going to hurt that Welling will likely miss all of next year after suffering an injury at the end of last season, but they did have two late frontcourt additions to replace him.
Fuchs is a big body who can rebound, while Faulker is a skilled big man who should give them plenty of offense. Lelevicius and Certa are two capable and proven high-major shooters, while Buckner and Foster will move into an even larger role in the backcourt.
