We will be low on D1 experience (again) next season, but I am hoping that we might make up for it in a higher basketball IQ. III definitely has it. I am assuming Solomon does. Reason to hope that Lionel and Cicic also fall into that category.

Any chance this might be a better offensive team than last season? It might, if Big Ticket has a double figure year and one of the newcomers can fill it up. You figure III is going to get double figures.

I notice on this board some are expecting big things from III this next season. I hope it happens. I'm just wondering how his game is going to be different so that he averages double figures. He definitely can shoot the ball, we know that. There have been remarks that he was not that good creating his own shot. Could be the coaches will use him in a different way. It will be interesting to watch.

I figure he should be as good as he was last season, at least, so I'm pencilling him in for 10-12 ppg.

I think that seems reasonable. However, as our leading returning scorer he may end up with the other team's top defender on him. How he deals with that will be interesting.
