This.

I think both of these should improve drastically just based on 1) we should go back to man to man defense; and 2) we aren't going to be playing Gu at the 4 or even Jarrey at the 4, but 6'8" I. Mike AND will return Jarrey and Ray from injuries probably our two best rebounders, add Mike & Hunt, and return Chargois after a full offseason.

The hope is that Jank focuses on this and we get back to being elite in these two categories.

Chaggy - Our starting center and will get 25-30 minutes a game. Will the staff develop him? He has all the tools. He can be 14 & 8 guy. Has the potential to be all-AAC this season.

Ray and Douglas - who are they? Both have the talent but it is time to show it or move on. Ray will be needed more because we don’t have another 4/5 backup for Chaggy. He can be an elite rebounder and garbage scorer in the Draymond mold. No one on this roster puzzles me more than Douglas. He has all the measurables - body, length, shot but eventually he has to produce. It would not shock me if he is a completely different player this season.

Newcomers - I’ve told people Mike is as good as any transfer we’ve had. Will he have the impact of Nic or Semi in year one? I don’t know but I think he will be our best player and all-AAC worthy. He is an NBA talent. Hunt is a Jarrey level talent without the injury. The sky is the limit. The staff is raving about him. Kennedy will be a great building block and a nice contributor off the bench. He could be Shake like as a freshman. Hopefully Dixon is what we thought Justin Martin would be.

McMurray - be you. Be the guy who can go off for 10 points in 3 minutes. Along with Mike he will provide the swagger. He will be a better player with more talent surrounding him.

Jank - let the roster limitations go. Please run more.

Score more points than the other team.
