I tend to agree, though I'd suggest that it's not necessarily as if any of the three have to have breakout seasons as long as they all take a tangible step forward. I mean, it's easy to forget but KJ, apparently playing injured, went for 14 ppg/5 rpg on 46/71/37 shooting, with 1.5 steals p/g just for good measure. Scoop basically led the BE in assists (5.9) and had a 2:1 assist/TO ratio while scoring 12.5 ppg on 42/66/36 shooting.

Those are both basically pretty good years. If they improve even just slightly on those numbers -- lets say KJ averages 16.5 on basically the same shooting percentages and adds closer to 7 rpg and Scoop ups his FT shooting while cutting his TOs from 2.9 p/g to 2.5 -- you've got yourself a pair of All-Big East candidates.

Triche is a little different in that he has plenty of room to improve in terms of being a really productive offensive performer (could improve in terms of creating for others, shooting coming off screens, getting to the bucket, etc) but if he only averages a point or two more per game but does it more efficiently, he too will be significantly improved. I'm not sure he's much more than a role player, but I say that as someone who didn't stop talking about josh pace for four years and loved the way Duany contributed to the national championship team.
