We were mediocre this past season, but hardly mediocre (FF) 2 years ago once we got the regular season out of the way. I'd say our miraculous FF run was accomplished largely on the backs of our NBA-level guys (Richardson and Lydon), with a surrounding cast that complimented the more talented players.

This past year, we had NBA-level talent but Lydon was playing out of position and Battle was injured much of the season. TT's an NBA prospect but was nowhere near ready, mentally or physically, to play near his potential.

Hopefully, he starts to do that this year. Unfortunately, we're very young up front. The difference is, we have some front line depth. Again, we have some NBA talent to lean on (Battle and TT). Actually, Brissett might also be in that category, but it's hard to tell how quickly he develops.

So back to your point .. that NBA talent isn't a guarantee. But it's certainly a starting point to be in the top 3 ACC and past the 1-2 rounds in the tournament. We just haven't had the surrounding cast.
