Four important things (and maybe the difference between a decent team and a very good team):
 
1. Will Coleman's fitness keep him on the court?
2. Will Cooney's defense keep him on the court?
3. Will Fair become a reliable offensive option?
4. Will Rakeem become a reliable offensive option?
 
And, the hotly-disputed one, will Triche become a consistent scorer and performer? Like, even 14 a night without many single-digit scoring nights?
 
We know, more or less, what we're getting out of everyone else. Yeah, Keita's got to consistently catch the ball, and Southerland could bring more consistent scoring. But none of those first four has demonstrated that he can do that at the college level, and Syracuse probably can't be a one seed without three of those four things happening (we need an honest post presence and a capable backup center, we need three guards of starter quality, we need a scoring wing, and we'll benefit hugely from having an extra option out there at the four without forcing South into that role).
 
Like everyone else said, we'll probably lose some games that we're not accustomed to losing (though I'd hate to see our great nonconference streak come to an end - going on four years since 12/15/2008), but it's a group that has the potential to become a great team - certainly more potent in the half-court offense than our last two.
