Milbourne will still play some '4'

One of the positives of Maryland getting a pair of freshmen power forwards is that it takes some of the pressure off Landon Milbourne, who often played the "4" last season. The 6-7 Milbourne habitually guarded forwards much bigger than he is. But don't expect Milbourne to shift to immediately shift to small forward and remain there. It's not happening, said coach Gary Williams. For one thing, Maryland needs to assess how quickly the two newbies -- power forwards Jordan Williams and James Padgett -- can play at the 4. For another, Milbourne grew accustomed to playing down low and got pretty good at it. "I think Landon is very comfortable at the 4," the coach said. The thinking is that this transition is going to take time. Still, Milbourne may learn to love his two new teammates as the season unfolds.
