I love all of the above thoughts, and am fully convicted that Elijah, Girard, and Buddy will make us a [U]very good offense.[/U] Buddy, Hughes, and Girard will have plenty of time to show off.

The question is can Dolezaj, Guerrier, and Sidibe make us [U]Great[/U]? Perhaps Edwards or Braswell(posting up against smaller guys) can also help. Dolezaj and Quincy need to bump closer in some games. Today was a perfect example of when the drive wasn't working for our two Pf's, and they really really really needed to bump in closer. That is why Sidibe and Edwards beat them on the offensive end.

We should fight hard to get our big 5 up to something like  13, 12.5, and 9 ppg.  This is one of those rare cases, where we should [I]overwork[/I] something. Otherwise we are going to have 6-7 cold shooting nights for 25 minutes, and another 10 games where we don't get to the line. Worst of all those games are going to lack the ball movement and bring only half of the 25 assists we are praising today. Which is ok if we want to be average and make a run.

Perhaps a big part of it is we are missing the returning seasoned offensive Big as a leader which is leaving all 5 of our bigs in doubt of what shots they should make. Even worse it is leaving our bigs in doubt on how aggressive they should be.  I remember someone once saying we underused a Jr. Rakeem Christmas and shouldn't have.  Is it Truth or wishful rhetoric to say "While we might not have a [U]Senior[/U] Rick Jackson, Rakeem Christmas, or Tyler roberson, we certainly have three halves of them"?
