I mean, lots of new faces--so we need to see how things gel and how long it takes for them to morph into a high performing team [assuming they do]--but the pieces of the puzzle are highly complimentary. It isn't common in college basketball these days to see teams that don't have flaws, and our squad might be one of those examples. We literally check all of the boxes -- size, depth, shooters, playmakers, versatile components. I even think inside scoring--which wasn't a strength of last year's squad--will be at least average this year, with Lydon / Roberson / Coleman, plus penetrators like Howard / Gillon / Battle setting guys up inside, with defenses unable to pack it in due to our three point shooting. I think we're going to see lots of easy scoring opportunities inside with our bigs [including Chukwu and Thompson], finishing easy buckets inside when our guards penetrate and draw defenders. [/QUOTE]
