I have spent the last few days thinking about this thread and watching college basketball and I think I have come up with a few answers.  So where is the offense going to come from?

1. The Zone. If SU is going to be successful next season the zone needs to improve. Syracuse defense was ok this season. I don't know or care what the stats say, I watched every game and the defense let the team down in the second half of games. The zone should lead to running opportunists because of steals and long rebounds. Kaleb will be better at the top of the zone or he won't play. Much of the criticism of Joseph was because of his offense, his defense was a bigger problem. Because Rakeem was relied on so heavily for offense he had to sacrifice his defense sometimes.JB will have Coleman, Diagne, and CM use in the middle. Multiple guys will allow them to be more aggressive on D.  Syracuse will get more transition points next season because of a better zone.
2. More scoring options. Improvement from Robertson and the addition of Richardson will give the team more scoring options. If CM can come back healthy the option to play MG, Cooney, Richardson, Robertson and CM at the same time is very intriguing to me. This is a groups with 5 offensive players who are skilled and versatile. Good offensive teams in college have multiple offensive players on the floor at one time. Anybody watched Notre Dame other then the game against SU?
3. Cooney. He will be a senior and ready to have a good season.

Next year is going to be a good season and hopefully a screw you to all the haters.
