[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 68493, member: 572"] Really good discussion. It's been a busy week already and it's only Tuesday, so I'm gonna tackle my outlook in pieces. I think a lot of discussion is centered around who I view to be a huge x-factor - Chris Bolden. A lot of the points have already been made, but I'll throw 2 more cents out there.... maybe 10. [LIST] [*]The kid is clearly talented. He may have had a disappointing season, but I think he has certain skills he can bring to bear. [*]He showed flashes his FR year where you thought we may have a steal. What excited me most about him was in an interview after one of his big games where he literally showed no emotion. Seemed entirely coldblooded. I was hopeful we might finally have one of those cutthroat killers you dream about having on the team you root for. [*]I think we've accepted this, but last summer's DUI incident, compounded by his early season suspension appeared to do a number on his confidence. It was essentially shot for the whole season.
