I know it's early and I do believe we will get better. But I'm a little concerned. The last time we had a mass exodus was after the 2012 championship and we all know what followed. I'm not saying this team will implode like that one, but I'm not too sold on it either.
The backcourt I feel really good about. Even though they're not hitting a good percentage from deep I think they will. It's our front line that is really concerning. Lee is doing well but I'm just not sure we can be a great team if we are counting on him being a major contributor. Skal has worlds of potential but he's so thin and foul prone. Just not feeling great about him yet. Poythress - yes he's had back to back double doubles. But I think he is what he is. I don't look for him to make any kind of major strides this season.
If we're hitting 3's then I believe we can beat anyone. If we're cold against a decent team or if someone in our front court gets in foul trouble, we may be in trouble.
By the way, I'm not a troll. I'm a huge UK fan and have been for over 40 years. Just my honest observations.
