Christmas showed a lot of offensive game at times last year, but it wasn't enough to really help the offense.  He just wasn't consistent enough to force the defense to double team or even really respect him.  The lack of inside threat created problems for every other player on offense.

This year, Christmas may be that much more consistent on offense and force the double team or at least defensive attention paid.  Plus, we have McCullough who will be able to help down low offensively.  When you add in Johnson and Roberson being viable threats to both shoot and score near the basket, we have a virtual cornucopia of forwards who can score for the team.  Last year we had only Fair and Grant to rely on, and both had serious offensive issues that limited them.

I think that our forwards this year are going to be a strength of this team.  If Obokoh or Coleman can contribute at all, our whole front line will be an important part of a very successful season.

Our guard rotation of Cooney, Gbiniji and Joseph is almost locked in, but having Patterson in case of emergency doesn't seem nearly as frightening as last year.
