Two comments this year from Ollie really stuck out to me this year.
Early in the year (before Christmas) Ollie mentioned the need for players to put in the time and effort outside the NCAA allowed practice time to improve their individual game.
Midway through the season he mentioned that he wasn't going AAU and just rolling out the balls. He was going to make the players run his offense and defense.
Right before the tourney Boat mentioned that players have to show pride in their game and step up when teams don't bother to guard players.
All of which leads to next year. It's obvious that over the past four years Boat put in the time to improve his individual game and his leadership of the team.
Who is going to pick up ball and lead next year's team? Who can command the respect of his teammates through words and deeds? Who is going to drag teammates in to the gym. Who is going to go the extra mile and meet with coaches to listen to them and instill the coaches wishes in to his teammates?
Amidah was a captain this year. Does he continue to develop and show personal growth so that his teammates can use it as a reference point?
Purvis and DHam really picked up their pace the last 15 games. They need a third perimeter player and two post players to match their growth.
