I have no idea what to expect of the hoops team this year.

Me either, to tell you the truth.

The talent is there, but a lot of it will depend upon how well Post executes his role alongside Clarkson/Clark in the pick-and-roll. It was a major strength of Ratliffe's, but it took Oriakhi a while to get it down last season (and to be fair, Flip didn't make things very easy on his teammates in '12-'13, especially after it became apparent to opponents that you could just leave him open and he'd toss up a brick from 23 feet).

Post needs to rebound and play defense, of course, but a major key to this team's potential is his ability to roll to the basket and get in position to receive the ball near the rim after he sets that top-of-the-key pick for the PG.
