Mine: Tyler Cook, trying to impress the NBA coaches, starts launching 3's and long 2's, and ends up missing alot of shots, giving away possessions. Yours?
Biggest fear for the new year?

That we still suck
TC started shooting more jump shots last year, 8-15 footers. I didn't feel that he made a high percentage of them but I look for a big improvement on them this year and I think you're right that he will try to extend his range and shoot more 15-20 foot shots. I think the defense is going to have to honor Tyler's shot and come out and guard him to 15 foot. This should open things up for Luka a little more

I'll start by complaining about the fact that you snorted up all of the drugs and didn't share. You're high AF.

I know it’s crazy, you’d think after having one of the worst years in school history (in conference) and getting embarrassed on several occasions this fan base would be more happy and optimistic. If there was ever a time to complain about things, it certainly wouldn’t be right now.

I'm not worried about Cook launching 3s recklessly. I pretty sure the NBA people were more focused on defense, rebounding, and hitting the 15-18 footer consistently. He does that and he's a second round pick.
My biggest fear is how Fran uses his rotations. I've always thought you could play 8-9 and allocate your minutes accordingly. There may be games where foul trouble, match-ups may dictate playing more, but it's tough if he wants to get 11 players in the mix. Use a redshirt on Pemsl or Kreiner if necessary. I know it's tough to tell kids that...but I have a feeling Garza, Nunge, and Weiskamp are taking alot more minutes this year. You have to shirt someone.

Pretty much this. More specifically that we still don't play any D.
If they play some defense the team will be fine. Otherwise not so much IMO.

That we make the NIT and Barta says we are on the upswing.

That Fran signs fall-backs to the fall-back recruits.

That we are in the "semi-finals" for that 4K (or whatever) tournament...without having first beaten the two previous opponents on the schedule. With this team, there are no guarantees. I mean, how stupid would it look to show up in NYC for a tournament semi-final...having lost the two previous games that are, ostensibly, "part of the tournament"?

God rest @docholihawk 's soul
Yeah me too. I'd really like to think they'll improve. Moss especially in just the consistency department. We had players like Gatens and Marble improve as they became upper classman so if Moss does we should be in a lot better shape. Cook doesn't need to improve his game a ton (offensively anyway) for him to be effective. Defensively the whole team needs to not only improve but play a different style... So I think the coaches will have a lot to do with that part of things
