I don't see one. There have been threads about playing through opponent's comebacks and runs but having a floor leader to settle the team, redirect and maintain the game plan is essential. Typically its a senior or point guard or perhaps your best player demanding 'perfection' of his teammates. Hell I don't even know who the captains are (and its almost March).
Its obvious with so many new pieces its important to have that player(s) who can huddle them up and offer encouragement and some direction/correction/adjustments. Sure we have some 'lead by example' types like Bouknight, and the usual cheerleading support, but last night when Georgetown launched its comeback the leadership was void, seemingly relying on the Coach and staff. Sad not to have that 'floor coach', and I hope I'm wrong or just blind to it.
With that said, I am perplexed as to who, or even if we have that leader. As good as we may be, without a definitive leader we may not have great success come post season, where having a strong leader is essential.
If I would guess it would be Bouknight, but I don't see it.
