On Wilcox: One of Maryland's most athletic and most exciting players … loves to dunk and block shots, and became a fan favorite at Cole Field House during his freshman campaign … the sophomore talent blended with the Terps' deep interior players a year ago to make a steady, gradual impact in his first college season … should continue to develop into an well-rounded talent, with more attention to fundamental defense and working into the Maryland offensive scheme.
Williams on Wilcox: "Everybody knows Chris dunks, and he blocked shots, and exciting things like that. But now, Chris' next step as a sophomore is to develop his offensive game to where he can make shots out of the offense, not just follow-ups or dunks on fast breaks. He's got to be able to help us run the offense. And then on the defensive end, I'm not one to ask a guy to lose the ability to block shots because very few people have that, but Chris has also got to become a solid defensive player where his man doesn't beat him off the dribble. He has to be able to keep a guy from catching the ball in the post. He has to master the little things that most talented big men have to learn in college because at the high school level, they're able to play a one-man zone and just block anything that comes in there just because they're the most talented athletes. So, with Chris, that's his next step, to become a more complete offensive and defensive player."
