Re: next year

Next year will answer the questions some have about this team. With that being said, this year we have players that are in positions that are not their strengths because we have who we have. For example, we have one true center(and he just started showing up the beginning of conference play), Cory Johnson, Marsden, and Gray are more suited the the forward/strong forward position but are forced the give Jiri rest putting a forward usually going against the other teams banger post player. You can look at our points in the paint and see that. Next year we get Brackins and Alex Thompson. Watching Thompson in Summer leagues last year, I can tell you he will be a force down low or will compliment the Center in a power forward position. That will be huge improvement.

We really don't have anyone right now who is a true point guard. You can see this by all the turnovers we have. Maybe as the season progresses and the offseason brings Taylor, McIntosh, or Dunson will bring them to that level, or maybe an incoming recruit will take over the position making the other guards more dangerous playing their natural abilitys.

I think the players we have now are making some good strides in improvement for a couple games, then back a few notches in other games. Going through this will strengthen some of their weaknesses and make them better players. I am going to enjoy watching them play hopefully a bunch of games with steady improvement and hope the bad games get fewer and not as extreme as we have seen in the Mizzu game last week.

Question for the day: Can I still make season tickets work for FB and MBB if I move to Canada?
