Defense and turnovers will be the biggest obstacle for this group to overcome. Difficulty is due to combination of coaching issues, lack of experience playing together, and youth. I think the NCAA tourny is probably out of reach. Best hope will be NIT. Interesting to see if Jones can be competitive enough to keep his job. With the plethora of guards, Jones will likely due a lot of experimenting until he finds a combination he likes. Blakeney and Sampson may get a lot time playing together as I guess that Jones will run a lot of 3 guard lineups. Mays and Patterson will vie for point guard, but Jones may opt to use rotating guard to bring ball up the court and run offense. Hopefully, Jenkins gets healthy as we will need toughness and defense he reportedly will bring. If Hayward can play D, he may receive significant playing time as his 3 point shot looked good in the exhibition. I'm thinking that there will a lot of Reath and Victor playing together along with the 3 guard lineup. There may be times when either Epps or Sims is added for size to go along with two guards. I'm still not convinced that Robinson will receive a ton of playing time unless he is needed to bang with another slow moving 7 footer, foul trouble or injuries to other big men. I'm getting excited, but team needs to show me something.
