Great stuff, as always.  A few quick reactions.

We need Bourama!  We really need Bourama!  We REALLY, REALLY need Bourama.  I expect that the first few minutes of each ACC game will see teams coming at Paschal, looking to draw fouls.  Then, once he sits, they will able to post-up his replacement, Marek or Matt, pretty much at will.

Along with SWC and several other posters, I'd like to see more 10-15 ft (Twilight Zone) attempts.  We seem to do a lot of driving into crowds.

Frank's low assist/turnover ratio might be a bit misleading.  We are poor at converting 3s and don't take a lot of higher percentage 10-15 ft jumpers.  Frank may be finding the open man, but they may not be converting.

What's going on with Matt?  Confidence?  Conditioning?  Based on his credentials coming out of South Kent, we all expected a lot more.

We probably won't get much scoring out of Howard this year.  It seems that he gets the dreaded Boeheim glare every time he attempts a shot.  Marek?  I'm not sure.  He has shown some hints of an offensive game.  I wouldn't rule out Marek as a contributor on offense.

Lot's of ifs.  Best case, 11-7 in the conference, and a 6, 7, or 8 seed.  Worst case, 7-11 in the conference, NIT.
