Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5072050, member: 722"] I'd like to point out that only 18 teams had an average margin of victory of 10 or higher last season. Only 8 had a 13 margin or higher. You're looking at a top10 team, not a barely above the bubble team with those numbers. I think the team will score well, too many good scorers at too many positions to be easily stopped. The team also has diversified scoring, with shooting, dribble penetration and post play in the half court. I worry about defense and rebounding. I think McLeod, with his excellent shotblocking, will get more time than expected. Lampkin is a big guy, and will need his rest. He also is a good, not great rebounder, at only 9.5 per 40 minutes in the pac10 last season. By comparison, McLeod was at 11.8 per 40 last season. Bell and Freeman aren't known for their rebounding either. Davis is going to have to play some games just to get a board. [/QUOTE]
