As long as he makes a respectable amount (30%?) of his WIDE open looks(needs to take good shots when he gets them), which I think is possible, just to keep defenses semi aware that he can "shoot", I think that will help him, because he does attack the basket.  Hopefully, our set of bigs will be much improved than this year, which I think is the only certainty we have for next year.

Our "offense" (I put that in quotes because I'm not sure we really run one sometimes) will have to be much different.  Our three point chucking offense that we are running this year, can and should be gone.  At this point, Battle will be our only consistent outside threat.  We will have an absolute offensive stud inside the arc with TT.  I would expect a Rak(senior) like year offensively for him, if he plays enough "defense"  without fouling, to stay on the court.

The biggest issue we are still going to face is if our defense is going to improve or not.  Offensive woes aside, our defense is the reason we aren't winning these games.  There haven't been too many games in the past that we score 70 plus points and don't win.  This "zone" this year, is pretty historically bad!

There are so many ifs on next years roster...I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up having a great year, and I wouldn't be surprised if we were worse than this year!!
