Here is the thing though... As of now are we seeing enough player improvement across the board?

Based on yesterday Judah looks like the same player as last year... which isn't a bad thing. I hope we see more of a perimeter threat though.

JJ looks like a stud athlete who can't shoot. Is he really going to replace JoeyG's offensive output?

Naheem is definitely a downgrade from Jesse

Taylor/Bell have hopefully improved

Lets call Malik an improvement

Let's say Benny has improved

I think while we will have taken decent step forwards in some place we have two taken pretty two large steps backwards with the loss JG3 and Edwards.

Even if those two just balance out or we are slightly positive for this year is that enough to go from one of the worst SU teams in recent memory to a tournament team?

My biggest concern after these first exhibitions is the team can't shoot and whether it can be be functional in a half court setting. I'm not seeing the plan on D to make up for the step backwards we are going to take on offense.
