Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4388308, member: 37"] A lot of this is true but systems are less important than the ability to score or assist others in scoring and to assess instantly which option is going to increase the chances of that happening. We’ve identified a major weakness last season at the four with Whaley being an above average defender but a below average scorer. So hopefully one or both of Samson or Karaban (or going small with Jackson) will rectify that. We know what we have in Sanogo. He’s a scoring machine. Assuming that Newton, Jordan and Andre will start I believe that Newton has best demonstrated the capability I point out in my first paragraph and you make in your second. You correctly point out what Andre has to do to be at Newton’s level. I believe he has been deliberately deferring but won’t this year. Jordan needs to improve both facets. I would say Bouk demonstrated above average ability to drive to the basket. Martin and Gillespie used their bodies to get there and Solo at a lower level does as well. [/QUOTE]
