It's gonna take Shake a minute or two and he needs to show some alpha, but I'm pretty confident in the kid.
In terms of team versatility, we have more pieces that do different things next year. Froling and Semi can pick and pop or extend to 3. Kapita is more skilled facing than Markus ever was etc. Larry just has to establish roles and nurture it. Don't get lineup change crazy
Pretty spot on. Talent level is going up a notch but we are losing very high basketball IQ guys and great team leaders. Do we have a guy next year that can step up to the plate and bring the team home during winning time? We will see. Talent wise I think the team is sweet 16 level, but there is a lot more to success in college basketball then talent level. Going to be an exciting year.
A have a random concern about Foster. The last two home games I noticed a distinct hitch in Foster's shot (there is a slight double clutch). Maybe it has always been there and I never noticed but He needs to smooth that out because the inside games suffers a lot if not every player on the perimeter can punish you when left open.
