Problem #1: Lack of size, especially size that will do the dirty work down low. Monyyong seems to fell into that category, although he needs to put on a LOT of beef. Besovic is very big, but how well he shrugs off his European background and becomes a banger remains to be seen. Grade: B
Problem #2. More gritty, blue collar defense, Little Rock style. If Monyyong becomes a shot rejecter, then we took a step in that direction. However, we are going to need ferocity on the perimeter to get back to our defensive roots, and I cannot tell that Stulic helps that at all. Grade: D+
Problem #3. Free throw shooting. Well, Stulic may help this in time, but I doubt he is going to get much opportunity to make a difference anytime soon, so the existing players are just going to have to get this fixed. Grade: F
Problem #4: A pass-first, high A/TO point guard. No help here. Grade: F
Problem #5: Rebounding. I am speaking specifically here about board work by the big guys. (Our perimeter guys do a good job.) We got size, and size ought to result sooner or later in rebounding. Grade: B
