Wade has been focusing on tempo, shooting, and aggressiveness.

I heard we have snipers on the team this year and Wade has these boys ready to press their arse of this year.

That is gonna be needed because this team is more devoid of size in the frontcourt than the team last year. Last years team had two 6'10+ bigs starting and could win games with offensive rebounding and points in the paint. This team is gonna have to rely much more on shooting and fast break play.

I’m afraid the loss of Bigby-Williams is going to manifest itself in close games. Gotta have rebounds and a rim protector. Not sure we havre that with him gone. Hope I’m wrong.

He's still the coach at LSU? I could have sworn that some people were certain that he wouldn't coach in 2019.

They are going to have to play a different style simply because they don't have the size inside they had last year. It will probably be something closer to last year's Auburn's style of play, than last year's LSU (though I don't expect as may three point attempts as AU). The bad news is that Waters, KBW and Reid are big losses. The good news is that LSU will likely have a 10 man (maybe more) rotation as opposed to the 8 man rotation last year.

I trust there are enough scorers on this team to avg. at least 75 ppg. The big question is can they defend? And I'm not talking about feast or famine with creating turnovers while also giving up a ton of good looks to the opponent. I want to see a defense that forces tough shots...even if that means less turnovers created.

He said we'll get to the free throw line just as much if not more than last year which i like to hear.

The entire offensive philosophy will have to change I think. Can’t just get it on the glass for Bigby to clean up like last year.

i spoke with wade this weekend and he did say we have really good guards and plenty of teams have won it all that way.

having said that, he was clearly tempering expectations. he said we'll be good. don't know about great but good for sure.

Charles Manning Jr. will be the biggest surprise and our 2nd leading scorer.
