[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 865121, member: 2458"] If this years team had a center producing 1/2 to 2/3 of what Moses Wright did last year - this team is above 500 in the ACC. The point guard play was shaky early in the season, but has improved considerably and is not significant cause for concern. The two problems I see leading to most losses are - no inside threat on offense (have to rely on jumpers too much, other bigs sag off Howard/Saba/Meka to clog things up, and limited options when players penetrate - the other night I saw Kentucky lob to big several times on penetration - we do not have that threat). The other issues is lack of strong big on defense - shot blocking, defending the post, etc - which leads to GT needing to be more aggressive and some of the foul disparity. The #1 priority for next season is a quality big from the transfer portal that can step in a play at ACC level. --- Howard/Saba/Meka in some combination are good enough already to cover for 5-10 minutes a game, and I do think Saba/Meka can develop with another years work. --- Not likely any HS player (unless 5*) could step in and play like we would need next season The 4 spot, I could see us being ok if Khalid Moore chooses to play the extra year, with Jalon Moore playing behind him --- If Khalid Moore does not come back, I think needs to be addressed via transfer portal. --- I see a ton of potential in Jalon Moore, but TBD if he is ready to play starter minutes next season or not I do agree with comments in another thread that CJP should also target a proven wing scorer - gives more room for error to the young players that will be very good in two years (and better next year than this year). With the play immediately change to the transfer portal - teams can use this to fill gaps. Wake and Miami are good examples that if you get the right players there you can go from 6-14 in league to 14-6. Curious as well why we have not seen Saba last couple of games. He is the best of the three on offense, but his foot speed and ability to defend quicker players is a liability every ACC team has exploited - hoping he is still growing into that body and improves there .
