I don't think the sky is falling. I am seeing some interesting pieces being molded and shaped on the court. Jojo has improved by leaps and bounds and can light it up and play some pretty solid D. I know a lot of people are waiting for Johnson to come in and take that spot but Jojo may not be so easy to beat out. Z Morgan & Clyburn are both excellent defenders and Clyburn is also a very good rebounder. Dembele is coming along nicely and when we team him up with D Morgan down low next year they should be a nightmare for opposing teams.
One of the big complaints I heard a lot the last few years was we either didn't have or failed to run an offense. That doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. They have definite plays that they are running and the only time they don't is when they get a little confused with the defense or JP starts pounding the ball and gets double teamed.
All the pieces are in place except for one alpha dog to lead the pack. It's been so long since we had that one guy that could come down and get the points we need and put the team on his back. Jojo is trying to be that piece but I believe we are looking for someone on the wing that can just take it over.
Not saying one really good player can take us to the final four but we could certainly be winning a lot more games. Who was our last alpha in that mold? Banks, The Hammer, Ricky Sobers, Johnson, Owens & JR Rider were some of my favorite. We need another!
