Good post.

Don't get me wrong--there is a lot for this team to continue improving on.  And they are just beginning to scratch the surface of what it takes to be a top 25 ish team in that regard.

But they also have shown tangible development from two weeks ago in terms of offensive execution.  Yes, the shots didn't drop, but the execution of half court offensive sets is improved.  That's a great sign.  [General2o, 007, Coach Orange--am I right?]

The big keys from this point on will be: 
[LIST]
[*]What's the delta between how Joseph is playing now, versus where he'll be by the end of the year?  Because in my mind, he's the main determinant of how far this team goes.
[*]Does Cooney begin playing better?
[*]Can Johnson step it up as a stater, and provide complimentary scoring?
[*]While Gbinije get his head out of his arse and regain his form?
[*]Is Patterson a contributor or does he fall from the rotation?
[*]How quickly will Roberson return, and will he begin to demonstrate improved play?
[/LIST]

Still need a bench.  Still need complimenary shooting / scoring.  But we've made incremental progress from two weeks ago, in the Cal debacle.  It might be just a notch of forward progress, but it is progress.  Lots more room to go.
