Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5049702, member: 1268"] Biggest question mark for me will be how the 5 spot shores up. We had an incredible defensive presence there last year, and unique player. We will not have a 5 that can bail out other defenders this year. Cam, AK and Newt were not plus defenders. The offset value that Clingan brought there was monumental. What he didn't block, he changed lot's of decisions on. I'm really confident in the 1-4, if for no other reason that we have so much depth & options. What will be better this year is shooting and depth. The biggest concern will be defense w/o Clingan. We are going to have to play better team d this year, less relying on a rim protector. Our chances to threepeat will lie heavily on Samson making a leap, and whether Reed can polish Michigan off him. [/QUOTE]
