We literally return 4 starters from a tourney team that finished 3rd in the big east.

Cole
Hawkins/proven transfer
Martin
Whaley
Sanogo

Jackson could potentially beat out Martin. Martin playing the 4 a bunch. Gaffney playing a prototypical combo guard role, in with a lot of 3 guard lineups. Hawkins playing the 3 in 3 guard looks. Diggins playing like the 2010-2011 Shabazz role. Where he ended up playing a lot, we could all tell how good he was going to be. Johnson spelling Sanogo and Whaley, maybe 10-12 minutes. Akok limited with his quick leaping and agility still hampered from the Achilles injury. Overall a much more guard oriented team that presses a bunch. That’s kind of how I see it playing out. I also think that our second chance op/put back game will be much stronger. A lot of these weak Whaley and Martin put backs would have been dunks with a crowd. I also think we flat out got unlucky with rolls and non-calls on fouls. Teams that offensive board like we do normally get fouled a lot more than we did.
