Subject: Thinking about next season

I really like what we have seen this summer from TJ, JJ and Talley. Ron has addressed a couple of our needs in getting back up at the point and hopefully some outside shooters. The biggest issue, rebounding and interior defense is still a big concern. Hopefully Martin will be qualified and provide some help. Hopefully Rod will be healthy and give us some good minutes like he did in the first half of the Pitt game last year. I am concerned however that we have not addressed our biggest need of getting a quality big body to help out on the glass. I am sure Ron is still working hard to try to get some help, but I would think the chances at this late date of getting somebody good are slim. From this perspective (inside play) we are not much different than we were from last years team. Still despite our rebounding issues we were in most games that we played. The games we lost for the most part we either ran out of gas resulting in our inability to execute, or we just did not make our free throws. I think we can improve on last year by taking better care of the ball (reducing turn overs), improving at the FT line, and doing a better job of making our shots. This is where I think the new guys will help. Regrettably, I think we are going to struggle rebounding, and defending the better big men like Nicholson.

I think we will actually miss Lewinson. As you say, let's hope D-Mart and Rod step up. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, July 17, 01:24:41pm
- While he's not nearly as big and bulky as Lewinson, I actually like Theis' game and can't understand why he didn't get more run last season. (NT) -- Slim, Saturday, July 17, 02:18:53pm
