All we’re lacking is a PG. That position has to be shored up to make any type of run in the tourney. Hopefully, we get a portal Pg and Pettiford is as advertised.

Not just point guard. If we are going to run half our offense through the 4 spot we need a dynamic scorer there. We have ran our offense through the 4 spot since Chuma. I love JayWill be he ain’t “him”. He was a good basketball player.

We need increased athleticism Tre good athleticism but not elite basketball athleticism. Aden slightly below athleticism but has a pure shot. Denver good athlete but could improve strength and slim up a little. CBM is CBM. Howard is going to be a freak athlete but poor shooter to start his career. Chaney big time athlete and improved basketball movement I expect more.

Broome great hands and feet but limited athleticism. Dylan great athleticism but poor body control.

Pettiford yet to be determined. Looks like an all around player a hair small to be a full time 2.

Well that and about 3 more players who can shoot the three.

This roster has been bafflingly constructed for the last 5 seasons.

Outside of Denver Jones we don’t have a reliable three point shooter. And thus you see the result: getting beat by Yale and never advancing past the first weekend in Bruce’s tenure aside from 2019.

Oats’ alabama system for identifying players and implementing them into a well oiled offense is in a different league.
