The nice thing about all this young talent is that not every single one of them has to "make the jump" for us to still be a good team.  The more that do, the better we'll be, of course.  The biggest issues for this team will be a couple guys who are 3 point threats, and a couple guys who can rebound to start the fast break.

So, if you look at the candidates from three - Judah, Benny, Chris and Taylor.  We know that they all can make them.  If two of them can make them consistently, then that's pretty solid.  And I'm not even counting Cuffe.

Rebounding - This is why Maliq is going to play.  Benny might make the jump and become a consistent 13 and 8 kind of guy; that's possible.  I'm not so sure that Hima is a rebounder, but I think the Florida State kid can help us there.  Maybe Hima will improve, too, if he doesn't have to cover from the foul line to both corners in that Boeheim style zone.  Maybe Chance or Copeland contributes some boards as the big guard / swingman.  Copeland does seem to have a bit of a nose for the offensive rebounds.

We need 2 or 3 guys out of each group of 4 to be contributors, and then this will be a very solid, tournament team.  If we get more contributors than that, then the sky's the limit.
