This team's upside?

What is this team's downside? about like last season. But let's move on from that.

What is our upside? Considerable, I think. The talent is there. Now, if the coaching staff will exercise some on-court discipline and make them play like they ought to, I think this team can be pretty good. Here are the question marks:

1. Turnovers. That MUST get better. We have to get off the playground onto the court.

2. Defense. Our defense was not terrible last season, but it was not great, either. Defense has always been a hallmark of Little Rock teams, and it needs to be of this one, also. Whether or not Walker can get this bunch to buy into that concept remains to be seen.

3. Rebounding. We have the size. This ought to be a great team on the boards.

4. Three-point shooting. We were not awful last season, but Rayjon Tucker is gone. Who is going to replace his 41% shooting from the arc?

Check all the boxes above, and this team is in the hunt for the title. The talent is there. Will the discipline and the desire be there?
