O'Neil injured his wrist during Saturday night's loss at Cal State-Bakersfield... Parker planned to redshirt his senior year then start the 2008-09 season as the starting point guard.

The loss of O'Neil hurts the Bulldogs because of their lack of penetrators off the dribble. O'Neil and point guard Kevin Bell are the only two, and Bell favors it in transition versus the half court. Eddie Miller and Bryan Harvey are known for their perimeter scoring.

O'Neil averaged 13.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in four games. He also took 17 free throws, second only to Bell(32).

Whether O'Neil can return this season is unknown. The news, though, is another blow to a team which is trying to develop scoring in the post and add more layups and free throws of its offense, instead of relying on 3-pointers so much, as what happens when the offense losses its focus.

Cleveland said after Saturday's game that he would have preferred O'Neil to take the final shot, but he was already out of the game, his right wrist in too much pain to shoot.
