Strengths/Question Marks: Our guard play should be strong, but we have a lot of new faces who will need to adapt quickly to our system and, more importantly, adapt to the speed and level of our competition.
Outlook: We need to be patient early in our season and endure some growing pains and hopefully continue to grow and learn from these experiences throughout the beginning part of the year. With a challenging early schedule and game experience under our belts, we should be ready to play solid basketball midway through and make a run to the playoffs.
