I think that what is going to be most critical and an indicator of success is that if 1 and 2 do happen, the assist figures have to be double digits between Frank and Tyus. By and far these two are the key playmakers coming in and have to be the source of buckets and creating buckets.

To a lesser extent then need to see positive figures from Thorpe to the tune of 8 pts 4ast if we want to have the depth needed to be successful given the role guard play has on making it to the tournament.

As for the other keys- I don't disagree with the importance at the 5 spot but until Chukwu proves that last year was more about eye injury issues than being raw, I expect that script to be flipped. Sidibe needs to be ready and a defensive presence.

In respect to the wings- I think we will need Brissett to be a big time frosh in the form of double digit scoring and Moyer to be a solid contributor with Marek offering what he can when matchups allow.

In a sense for real success we need all hands on deck which is a lot to ask for but not necessarily unrealistic. My guess is where we fall short will be center depth. Could be a Billy Celuck like struggle at times but with that we should still be able to stay near the conversation of playing in the tourney.
