Up until last season Jim made his bones by playing a unique D that was based on great length at key positions. Last season that all changed. We had one of the worst Ds in basketball and had to outscore teams in order win. When we were hot, we could play with anyone. When not we lost or got beat badly. We all know how it ended however there is asterisk based on Franks injury.

With Cole we had an elite shooter who was decent on D.  Not much of an Athlete but a grinder who was basically a very good spot up shooter.

Next season we will be back in Jims's comfort level with Athletic long kids manning the forward and center spots and a dynamic kid who can score the ball off the bounce at the point. 
My gut tells me that Jim is going to play the D hand and hope to win enough games to make the dance and have these young kids grow up and peak at the tournament. We will be very young and very athletic. 
Joe can hit from half court and he will do much better at the 2. Mintz can score, Taylor can shoot, Benny is going to be a completely different player and live up to his 4 star rating. Jesse demands attention and the rest of guys are all great athletes.

SU is going to be fun to watch and drive us crazy early in the year. I believe that we will be a much better team than this years and that Jim is going to coach these kids up. Sneak in as a low seed and end his career in the sweet 16.
