Good info and comments. I'm impressed by the approach that MC and the staff have taken. Improved athleticism, experience, skills, and cunning are what were needed, along with a new mindset and a dose of humility. It seems like we got all of those.

I like your predicted starting five. It makes sense. Of course I wonder who is going to add new tricks to their game and how the youngsters are going to gel with the transfers. I believe we know what we'll get from guys like DA, Laz, Kobe, and Bilo, hopefully each a more advanced level.

I'm really curious about Dailey Jr and how MC uses his big 'guard'. Also how Skyy Clark acclimates to MC's approach and manages the game flow. And will Mara become impactful on a regular basis? To me, those answers will be three barometers of next year's team. All is possible this time of year.

Your comment about pressing and ballhawking is encouraging. I would love to see MC adjust his strategies to highlight the advantages offered by a deep roster. We know he likes to stick with his guys, but has that been by choice or by necessity? Five years in, I still don't really know. The deck was stacked against him in various ways. Now, hopefully, we'll have the chance find out with a new core, in a new league, in this new era.

Great pod, KJ!

I can't wait until June when team workouts start, we should start to get an idea of who is who and what is what then. Excited to see MC work with a full deck of his guys. He's got options for sure. Thanks for listening my man
