Seattle University forward Charles Garcia scored 29 points on 11-20 shooting and 13 rebounds in last night's thrilling 82-81 win over UC Irvine at Key Arena.

After scoring in a variety of ways all over the court, making key plays down the stretch, and hitting the game winning free throws, the NBA buzz is continuing to build:

"The wow factor when watching him play is extremely high—think of somewhat of a cross between Andray Blatche and Lamar Odom." - DraftExpres

"A better pro prospect than Elgin (Baylor)?" - Seattle Times

or...

"Will Charles Garcia pull a Jake Locker?" - Seattle Times

Perhaps the fundamental question is: will another year of college better for his development as a player -- and person -- than trial by fire in the NBA?
