I think Carolina will be very good this year. I'd put them in the same category as UVA & Duke

No clue where will finish (I certainly didn't see us at #5 last year), but think we should be very much in the mix for an upper half spot.

I think we’re a 13-7 type team in the league. That should squarely put us in the 4-7 range. I think NC Duke UVA FSU are in the top 4. And were in the next tier. I’m curious to see how the schedule sets up too. Do we get our usual Duke UNC Louisville FSU opening stretch like always ?
OOC games will be interesting too. I think we go anywhere from 20-10 to 22-8 overall.
The 5 spot has me worried a little and can we find two guys to consistently stretch the opposing D from behind the arch. (Devoe, Param, Kyle S or Maxwell)

That’s a very bold prediction. Hope you’re right.

I'm really confused about your view of Wright. He's a starter 100%.

Our starting lineup is almost certainly going to be Jose-Mike-Jordan-Moses and then probably Howard or Saba at the. We'll probably see some small ball lineups where Moses slides to the 5 but that is more dependent on matchup than as a base thing I feel. Our defense is too predicated on having a true shot blocking threat down low.
I was remembering Parham as a better shooter than Wright. He is from outside, but Moore had better numbers from 3, and Wright was our best from 2. Devoe had the most points on the team, and Wright was a little behind him.

From outside the arc, Devoe is .437, Alvarado is .336, Moore is .333, and Parham is .302. I was thinking of an outside shooting offense, but Devoe was the only one in a good range.

In returning points from last year,
  1. Devoe: 448
  2. Wright: 403
  3. Alvarado: 345
  4. Usher: 188
  5. Parham: 160
(Banks had 293, but he’s gone)

In per game stats, it’s Devoe, then Alvarado, Wright, Usher, Parham, then Moore (down a lot).

Unless we got suddenly accurate from outside, I don’t think a bombs away 3 point offense is going to happen, so Parham isn’t in the starting 5. Maybe we have a lineup for him, but maybe Moore?

I can’t figure out the pieces or the offensive scheme though. You’ve got 3 in for as much of the game as you can get them—Devoe outside, Jose as PG, and Wright near the basket—then you have to figure out the other two.

If you look at the comments you’ll see I already did. Lol. Unfortunately I gave away my full identity by doing so.
