Good post. There is no doubt progress with Quincy and on the boards Sidibe has been impressive. I would love to see him be more consistent. If he could do for 30 minutes what he does wonderful in shorter spurts it would be huge.

The fact we can shoot gives us a shot in any game. The fact we rely on jump shooting almost completely means the margin of error is just so incredibly slim.

Defensively we are chasing more than defending. There is an open look on nearly every possession and that is certainly an athleticism issue.

The one thing the stands out the most is that we just don't have guard talent. Good shooting and grittiness sure. But talent, the kind you need where there is a blend of skill and athleticism just isn't there. Jalen coming out of HS gave us every reason to believe that was back until it wasn't and he is more a guy who gets it by year 3/4. If we can get back to having a backcourt that can truly pressure a team on both ends and have playmaking capabilities- our fortunes could change very very quickly.
