Message: [QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 4135815, member: 493"] Yea I think most of this is true - The part I don't agree with at all - and drives most of our difference here is that I'm not sure "already demonstrating progress in addressing some of our already identified challenges and growth opportunities" is true. Outside of Sanogo's offseason development, where is the growth? Where is the demonstrated progress? This is biggest thing for me in assessing our chances this year, is to look after 10 games and see what progress has been made that makes me believe we leveled up. We have played the soft part of our calendar - the part where we would have 25 point games and give players chances to make mistakes or earn their spot - and the players who are going to separate/elevate themselves do it. But we really haven't taken that step as a team and in our roles. I'm not sure what we've learned, and that is bad since we are 1/3 of the way through here. RJ/Gaff are basically what they were last year - with Diggins getting no burn and Floyd RShirting, this is it - no playmaking calvalry coming, and we've seen our team be totally shut down a couple of times so far. AJax/Hawk/Akok/Samson have been up and down. They've all flashed, and they've all disappeared. No consistency. Tyrese is a beast, Whaley is a Wrench, Polley is streaky. No difference there. We have a ton of talent. We lack guard play. We foul a lot. We knew that going in. I guess I just wished we knew more - or had made more of an effort to find out more from the unknown pieces. Will be fun to watch this season play out! [/QUOTE]
