I see one the names being considered for Steele's new baby is "Stainless". I like it.

Last year, Goodin, Marshall, and Scruggs really struggled to shoot and turned the ball over frequently.
Yes, X has more depth. That will help. But, shooters have a hard time being consistent with their careers.
The defense saved X last year. I only hope the defense will be as strong. 7 new players will need lots of time to work out issues.
I think our schedule will be easier.
I just can't see Q being a remarkable shooter. Scruggs will be better but not amazing.
Hope they average less than 12 turnovers a game.

Good thoughts. I expect better defense, even with new faces, although the improvement may not be significant. Turnovers were a huge problem last year and in my mind, not wholly resulting from the up tempo of play. Turnover numbers, in my mind, are more likely to increase with the new additions on the floor.

Q also is the most likely defensive stopper. He is a great athlete and the natural floor leader. Hope he can avoid injury and play at a consistently high level all season. I realize we have newcomers this year who can back him up (which this team lacked last year). But, Q is the stirrer that mixes the drink and I hope he has a season to remember.

Shannon linked to this in Facebook. I’m sorry, but that’s kind of embarrassing.
