We MUST improve - where?

Every team is different and every season is different, but where are the places where this team has to improve to be at the top of the conference?

First and most obviously, we have to have more consistent non-Neighbour big man production. James White is ready to step into the lead role, and he will do fine, but someone else is going to have to provide solid post play.

Second, this team will be guard-heavy, and we have to have better 3-point shooting than 32.2%. That just will not get it done in today's world. We have some good shooters, and those guys are going to have to take the shots, and the ones who aren't making them back off. We had 210 shots taken from the arc last season by players who shot 31.3% or worse. Not good. That will get you killed.

Third, we have to get to the line more. This was a good FT shooting team last year and there is every reason to expect it will continue to be good. We have to get more aggressive.
