Message: [QUOTE="EnnisEnvy, post: 1684840, member: 4394"] The "all is puppies and rainbows in Orange Land" take: The team comes back in 2016 pissed off at the '15 season and with a chip on their shoulders because of JB suspension, the team underachieving, letting down their 5th year seniors and the fan base. There is a fierce sense of aggression and nastiness from day 1 as players compete for spots and playing time. -Howard works on his mid-range jumper and stop and pop game and progresses enough to start at PG being a threat to drive the ball and convert inside 10 feet. Averages 6 pts/6 asst per game -Battle is a combo guard who starts out at the 2 and fills in at 1 spot and contributes 12 points/4 assts per game -Malachi adds 10 pounds of muscle and works on his block out fundamentals and his midrange jumper and starts at 3 giving us 15 pts/6 boards/game -Lydon puts on 20 pounds of bulk and adds a little quickness resulting in a better inside game both offensively and defensively playing in the 4 spot. 11 pts/7 reb/game -Coleman works on his footwork and handwork and becomes a respectable consistent offensive threat underneath. 8 pts/9 rebs/game -Chukwu has a year of familiarity in the zone which translates into proper spacing and positioning to be a defensive force in the middle when Coleman gets into foul trouble. 4 pts/5 reb/2 blocks/game -Roberson fits much better in the scheme coming off the bench feeling less pressure to perform resulting in 6 pts/8 rebs a game -Moyer comes off the bench at the 3 and provides offensive spark as he adjusts to the zone defensively. 7 pts/4 reb/2 assts/game -Joseph returns because no one else really wants him at this point. Things start to click and he gains confidence in practice and gradually works into the rotation when needed. 4 pts/3 assts/game JB realizes he has a solid 8-9 player rotation that can contribute and give him flexibility with positions and matchups SU wins 23 games and finishes top 3 in the ACC and makes a Final Four run in the NCAA [/QUOTE]
