That all seems spot on.

- Sidibe is out best interior option, and I don't think it's close. It was nice to see Chukwu a little more aggressive defensively, but this was a bunch of 6'5" D2 kids. He's going to get pushed around by anyone with any decent size. I wish BS had about 10-15 lbs of bulk/muscle. I also didn't realize he's already 20...
- I dread Frank running the offense. He just isn't a PG. With his improved jumper, he sure looks like a better off guard to me. He just doesn't know how to get the offense going or initiate movement. 
- HW is our best PG, at least without seeing Thorpe. I don't think he's ready to play a ton of minutes, but he certainly looks a lot better than Frank in the half-court. He also is very confident from 3.
- OB looked good once he settled in. Can hit from mid range or deep, though I want to see him driving more in the next exhibition. I think he's more Kris Jo, Malachi, Wes Johnson than Southerland, who was strictly a catch and shoot guy that ran like a gazelle. 
- Marek is skinny and weak with the ball, but you can see the bball IQ seems to be there. I think he's a better option for minutes than Moyer, but I don't know if we can survive big minutes of Marek and the centers against anybody that can rebound even somewhat well.
- Rebounding and interior D is going to be a really, really big problem, especially the glass. I just don't see how this team competes in the ACC with such skinny players and a limited offense.

Based on one game, I'm not overly confident my 16-15 prediction will even be met...Yuck.

I liked pressing and hope we do a lot of that, but I won't hold my breath.
