To me Tyler Polley is the most interesting player on next years team. He is almost a perfect fit for what Hurley is looking for at stretch 4 position if he adds a little weight. Hurley wants 4 players on the floor who can dribble the majority of the time. He prefers 2 bigger guards (who can rebound and dribble penetrate), 2 wings(typically a bigger guard at the 3 and stretch 4) and a true center. Because he can shoot Polley can be used solely for spacing for our guards if he can draw 4s away from the basket. In my opinion last season Polley was underutilized and was used poorly. He never played long enough stretches to get into a groove(minus maybe the last handful of games). He should have been taking a lot more of TLs time based on how poorly TL played for stretches. I was watching some tape earlier and he actually looked really good at times, maybe a little tentative but that's to be expected from a freshman used sparsely. I honestly have no idea what to expect from him next year. He could be a starter, maybe a 8 and 5 type player, or he could ride the bench again but I think he could be the player that benefits the most from the coaching change.
