[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 554003, member: 2458"] A couple more losses than I expected, but hit my target for ACC wins. With Okogie - this team wins 3-5 more games - probably into NIT. Not having him helps going forward as others got minutes they would not have. ACC was tougher than usual this year and the schedule rotation did us no favors this year. I like the core pieces coming back - Alvarado, Devoe, Banks. Need to sign big man depth in spring (would not mind taking two bigs - one to sit/develop, plus a grad transfer to backup Banks. Has the light gone on for Wright? Playing like ACC starter last few games (lost much of the time before that) - if he keeps energy level like it was at end, improves some on the jumper, he can be a solid stretch 4 the next two years (and backup center for a few minutes. I don't see Devoe/Alvarado playing as many minutes next year (30-35 in close games) - and I think this will help their consistency, Still lacking the 'go to' scorer (I don't see Usher doing that) ... Sjouland and Moore both showed me they will be very good players next year or year after. Haywood - I like many things he does (defense/passing/etc) but needs to expand offense to drive more and come off screens for jumpers (tends to only shoot when feet totally set or layups). Phillips - Not sure what happened ... he was major disappointment this year ... looked solid early then could barely get minutes ... do not know why, but expected more. Cole - Injuries hampered him, but his ceiling is not as high as Wright (again - has something finally clicked with Wright). Optimistic next year will be better Keys: Sign big(s) that can play backup behind Banks in spring ... and long term can not afford to whiff on the following recruiting class. Usher able to play at level he did at USC. Continued development from Moore/Sjouland/Wright/Devoe/Alvarado/Banks. 20 ACC games next year (have not seen who we get where and twice) .... thinking 9 to 12 wins possible. Some teams will be reloading (Clemson, VT in particular) so expecting a first day bye. Anything less than solid NIT team will be disappointing (barring unexpected serious injuries, etc.). [/QUOTE]
