[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 650895, member: 2299"] Bottom of the barrel? We finished 10th in the ACC last year. Not good, but not bottom of the barrel (not even bottom third). Anyways we return our top 3 players, all of whom showed flashes of great, not just good, play last year. Consistency was the biggest issue with all 3, and going from a soph/fr/first year being a big time contributor to a jr/soph/second year big time contributor should help with that. In addition one of our issues was having to play Jose and Mike too much and we added another quality PG to help out. That PG, Parham, was also a very high volume 3 point shooter who also made them at a 40% rate which addresses another big issue from last year when Heywood could never find his stroke. Otherwise we had a young team last year and a year of experience should help. Guys like Moore, Sjolund, Wright, and Cole will all be better able to handle the roles they are asked to do, and were asked to do too soon in years past. A scrimmage is one of the few times you can play around with different combinations in real game scenarios without risking anything. The idea that only good teams will benefit from trying out different combinations is silly. If anything it's teams like us who most of all need to know whether we can go small, or can get away with only one ball handler, etc etc. [/QUOTE]
