Agreed.  The 5 needs another body at the very least and if the new freshman can give quality minutes I'll be very happy with that.

Somebody on this team offensively has to be able to penetrate and score/pass.  Multiple is better.  The shooters are there but they don't seem to be able to get open on their own with a pressing D, somebody has to make that happen.   SU is getting its own version of 3G and it's any ones guess where that is going to take SU.

If Brissett could improve his J/free throw%, dribble and pass...I'd be thrilled with that.

I'd like to see someone under the basket finish with a dunk or a sweet bank off the board.  Watching these tournament games annoy me a bit because I see so many teams with a 6'-8-10 guy that can be a handful underneath.  If either Guerrier or Goodwin can finish (even though they don't have the strength as of yet) this team will be in decent shape.

Steals on D and solidly run fast breaks would be a fantastic addition.  Finish with layups/slams or 3's depending on who is on the break.  Who of the young bucks will have that footspeed on D or great anticipation of the passing lanes?  Will SU be able to rebound?  Block shots?  Stop bulky 4's and 5's?  And most importantly...communicate on D?

Should be an interesting year.
