    Seeing that...we are going to be exponentially more athletic next year. Athleticism doesn't equal wins but I do like the potential. Frontcourt has to improve over the summer though to not take a significant step back from this year.

    One change for me:
    PG: Goodin
    SG: Marshall
    F: Boudreaux
    F: Gates
    F/C: Jones

    This may not work but I don't see putting both your PGs out on the floor to start the game. Leaves no fallback.

    Nah, you can make it work. Q has already shown he can play 40 minutes a game if he has to, albeit at a slower tempo. I don't see next year's team running / scoring quickly nearly as much as this year.

    This is a pretty massive change for our team and we'll need time for guys to get used to all their new roles. What are the expectations for next year? I'd gotta think just making the tournament would be a successful season.

    Keep a winning record in conference play. That's my only goal for next year.

    I think this team could really struggle to score next year, absent a miraculous turnaround from Gates as a senior.

    There's no other way to say it -- they need Gates & Goodin to massively step up next year.

    Defense should improve a bit, but you look at that group and wonder who is going to get buckets. Depth is extremely concerning as well.

    I don't want to see Scruggs and Goodin starting together unless one of them becomes much better at scoring in the offseason.

    Keonte Kennedy is almost certainly going to start as a guard next season. Probably at the expense of Gates or Scruggs, if I had to guess.

    Next year's team will have more lateral quickness, so we can hopefully expect to see an improvement in our man defense. Similarly, with Q, Scruggs, and Naji on the floor we'll see our offense be based more on penetration with occasional kick-outs to Gates, Boudreaux and Kennedy.
