This upcoming season is has the potential to be wild. Look at what we've been talking about and what it entails:
Two kids that could possibly play center...Harrelson if he's half what we've been talking about and Carter if he can get his mind and body together at the same time. Probably not a lot of points, but pressure off Patterson....
which means Patterson will be playing facing the goal this year....relearning the position he is built for...power forward...positioning, passing...retraining.
Any point guard we get learning the system, learning the team, learning the opposing team, learning the courts...tough gig, whoever gets it.
A shooting guard, whether it be Meeks or Miller (I know, I know...wrong spot) or even Slone as a walk on....who hasn't played college ball or competition for a year. Oh yeah....different 3 point line, too...not much, but there it is.
Off forward....Miller, Stewart, Stephenson???? Gotta score. Gotta pass...
overall...learning the game the way this staff wants it played. This is going to be an awfully young team, experience wise. Nobody is more than a sophomore in playing time. It might be another bumpy ride until the end of the year, but the way the team developed last year, it could be a pretty wild finish if everybody catches on and pitches in.
