Strengths:Defense and Team speed
Question marks:Rebounding and experience
Overall: “I believe our fall preparation will help us in the areas in which we need to improve on. Defensive communication will be the key to our success along with our defensive rebounding. If were able to get stop at crucial points of the game, we're going to be good. I know that's pretty much every coach’s blueprint, but we're capable of defending anyone when we're communicating and engaged. However, that's what comes with inexperience, so hopefully, we can improve on last year’s late run and make the playoffs this year.”
