1. Defense
For the strength thread I said you could pencil in scoring as a strength every year, well the same could be said for defense as a weakness until proven otherwise. The fact of the matter is Garza and Bohannon are likely going to continue to have their issues on this end. Hard to imagine with all our newcomers we will be locked in communication wise either. I will say I think Nunge can really help us on this end as a potential rim protector and I’m excited to hear CJF looks like a quality defender. Maybe Evelyn will be an upgrade.
2. Inexperience / chemistry
Experience is a huge thing in college basketball. We do have some quality experience, but we also are going to be breaking in several new players and young players. I imagine everyone of our freshman will take some lumps.
3. Fran’s rotation management
I believe, and partially based on quotes from Fran yesterday, he has his eyes set on an 11 man rotation this year. That’s no good in my opinion. As I mentioned in the strengths thread I actually think our bench could be pretty good, but playing 11 guys is not a good strategy imo but it’s never stopped Fran before.
