Agree.  It's going to be a competition. All of these guys need to fight for time, with the possible exception of Sanogo and maybe Cole.

Jackson: Does he improve his shot?  Can he attack and score at the rim? Take his disruptive D up a notch?
Polley: Can he get his defense up to at least ok?  Can he improve in the hustle areas...rebounding, lose balls, coming off screens?  Can he attack the basket more reliably?
Whaley: Can he make midrange jumpers consistently?  Can he improve his finishing around the rim and ball handling? Can he hold ground better against true bigs?
Akok: Needs to return to form as a defender and rebounder.  Need to improve his outside shooting and finish better.  Would like to see him attack the basket off the bounce more often, it would be very hard to defend.
Gaff:  Continue defensive improvement.  Play as the aggressive, penetrating guard [U]all the time[/U].  Move better off the ball so he can get more clean looks.  Play faster.
Martin: Get that 3 point shooting back up to 35%.  Finish better at the rim, protect the ball, stop rushing it on layups and putbacks.

These are just examples, but I do think it's going to be interesting to see which guys make the needed improvements to earn those minutes.
