[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 233184, member: 2299"] I'm not expecting much of anything in terms of wins and losses next year. I'm expecting next year to be mostly about how we play and improve over the course of the year and to rack up a ton of Ls. That being said, weird things can happen. To break it down by position. Center looks to be the strongest position we have. I think Lammers is a quality big, and Ogbonda a quality backup. Not going to carry the team or anything but all in all should be reliable. SG looks to be the next strongest, but most of that is by virtue of Jackson and the potential he has. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the new coaching staff and to the team effectively being his now that Hunt is gone. How he responds to those two things will play a big factor in how this season goes. At backup I think Okogie is a solid recruit, and all in all the position is in good shape when viewed in a vacuum. A solid junior with good potential backed by a solid recruit who can spend two years gaining experience behind the veteran. It just doesn't provide the oomph that we need given the other factors. PF - this is where things get murky. I think if Stephens is at the 4 then it's possible that he could take advantage of some slower defenders and provide some 3 support. Maybe same with McCormick. I expect defense wills till be a problem, but perhaps there will be a handful of games where one or both goes off on the offensive end and makes up for it. PG - Heath is what he is. He's a solid back up who won't make too many outright mistakes, but also won't make too many plays for you. We really need Moore to be a true diamond in the rough and pull a Hanlan, although to expect it is absurd, to really have a chance at surprising anyone. IMO this is what really will prevent any surprises this year. Getting solid ACC level PG play is so important and so hard for a freshman to provide. SF - Only real hope lies with Matthews imo. Stephens cannot play the 3 at an ACC level and I don't expect Price to contribute all that much. This position is squarely on the back of Matthews and how he adapts to the college game. IMO the problem isn't that there isn't potential to be somewhat competitive. I think we could be. The problem is that to do so just about everything would have to fall into place. Now sometimes that happens, but it's an extreme long shot. The real hope for next year is that we got the steal of the century with Pastner and that his prior issues were more memphis related than Pastner related. But again. Long shot. [/QUOTE]
