I think we will for a couple of reasons.  One we have more athletes out there to throw at people in a rotation.  Bigger guys too.  Hurley can finally yank anybody taking a play off and sit him on the bench knowing we have depth.  Secondly, shot blocking.  Carlton really improved late last year, Sid is strong in week side shot blocking and Akok could be a real force.  So when guys do get by our perimeter defenders, we now have rim protectors.  We have to stop over helping and leaving bigs open. I think Adams will emerge as a Lyman Depriest type player, maybe not quite that good on D, but a guy who can guard a lot of positions.

I think this team is going to be a major upside surprise.  We have four new players.  Three should be impact freshmen.  We have experience, with a senior and 3 juniors who all saw a lot of minutes.  Carlton is going to be hard to stop inside, and when they double him, Akok and or Polley is going to make them pay.  Everyone is worried about guys creating shots, and while we need that, this team is going to score in transition and with an inside out game.
