Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2895459, member: 5832"] Bottom line is we're not a very good team. I know people hate saying that - but this team was a disaster last year on the court and a lot of it had to do with talent. What our best hope is that the kids here buy in hard while Hurley brings better talent in. I think our back court will be good. We've got a good blend of talent, depth, youthful upside.... we're deep.. If Gilbert has a good year, which I think he can - we could have a top-10 back court nationally. I really think that. We've got some interesting wings, but every one of them come with question marks. Wilson seems really talented but seems a little challenging to coach... Polley and Whalley have given flashes of looking like really good players, but they've also looked lost at other times. Williams looks... like he won't see any playing time. So again, there's talent there, but it's not well developed at all and depending on it is being hopeful I think. Our front court isn't good at all. And it doesn't seem to be a coaching thing, it's just not talented. Cobb has a good motor and maybe Carlton could amount to something, but I haven't liked what I've been hearing. Diarra is coming off an injury. Yakwe will help defensively, but he's a terrible offensive player.. They're the inverse of the guards - wildly unproven, under developed, lacking talent... They're going to get eaten up. I think we're a 20-win team, but more than that is just really getting optimistic. Talent's here for it, but I need to see it to believe it. [/QUOTE]
