What made this past year so frustrating (besides obviously the losses) was that we had some nice pieces-they just didn't fit together at all. It was easy to see this prior to the season. We had 3 elite shooters in Buddy, Girard, and Swider, but no one athletic enough to penetrate and consistently get them open shots. No real starting point guard to handle the ball against pressure (I think Symir struggled with it as well in his limited minutes most of the year). No one particularly or athletic inside.
   If Cole comes back, I believe next year should be a different story.

[*]2 elite shooters-Girard, Swider
[*]3 good to very good athletes-Jesse, Benny, Judah
[*]2 good ball handlers handling the ball allowing Joe G. to do what he does best.
[*]A solid bench

I think with Cole the pieces fit together beautifully and we're a Tournament team. Really good teams either have a bunch of elite talent and/or fit together well as a team. I believe Benny is the X factor for how good we will be. If he can play consistently like he did in the Duke game, we can be very good.
