The Star?

[jr4750]

I really think the success of the season boils down to someone becoming a star? KJ can't be back and forth anymore. He has the inside track at being the guy but doesn't have long to prove it. It happens early in the year and is carried through by that strong start. Similar to what happened with Kemba last year. BT could be the guy as well. It would be hard to come off the bench and be that guy (DW). We need someone who can step up and be better than everyone else on the floor. We didn't have that last year and it hurt us a lot. They need to play angry and demand the ball... That will ultimately open things up for the others as well...

On a side not, I'm concerned about rebounding. Just not confident in Fab, Moose, or Rak to avoid fouls and/or get a key rebound...

we've got 15 hard fouls to spend underneath the tin. least of our worries imo.

Remember that Kemba had to be the man because outside of Lamb, he didn't have a whole lot of help. Syracuse has got a Lot of help and I believe we are going to see a star of the game be at least five different people before the year is out.

I want to add to this concern, uninspired play... Fab is notorious in this regard. Ra played hard tonight!
