Evaluating Mike’s first 100 days

a lot of question marks that we won't know the answer to for a few more months but some things could swing our way for this team to be better than last:

[ul]
[li]better chemistry could be an x-factor. Not taking that for granted but we'll see.
[/li]
[li] we do have a more size and more traditional front court options
[/li]
[li] Heron will have a big season. Not just flashy numbers but I think his overall game will be a lot more impressive when he isn't relegated to guarding 6'10 250lb opponents.
[/li]
[li] It seemed to me that Fig deferred a lot offensively this past season and he could be a bigger factor than we expect.
[/li]
[li] another player we are not expecting could also have a breakout season. We are going to need a reliable third scorer for certain so who will that be?
[/li]
[li]this team will be overall more athletic.
[/li]
[/ul]

[/ul][/quote] If the team exceeds last years team , all the stars will have to align. IMO MA is a better coach then Mullin and the team will be better conditioned. He will also play more players eliminating the depth and fatigue problems ,also possibly diminishing the chance for injury. We have more bigs and I also expect to see better chemistry. That said, I don’t think we have enough talent for that to happen, but I would be delighted if I am wrong,

Agree & unless I missed something the BE will be better this year with a ton of very good returnees. We tend to look at things in a vacuum.

The ceiling was a lot higher than winning a play-in NCAA game with last season's team. Getting into the NCAA without a play in game would be exceeding that team which is possible and not a wild dream.

What are your expectations for him? I think LJ is best player on the team and is going to have one of the better overall seasons we’ve seen in a while.
 
Right now it’s like the guy who jumps off a 10 story building,As he passes the 9th floor hensays so far so good,the 8th floor so far so good guess we will have to wait
And see how it developes
