Wish list for the New Year

1. Good health. Because of Walker's blunder in not filling out the roster, injuries have hurt us more this season than they otherwise might have. So, we badly need to keep healthy the players that we have.

2. Another outside shot maker or two. We have several that came in advertised as good shooters, but so far they have not been making their shots. Thus the burden has fallen on Tucker and Pippins, and in today's game two outside options are not enough.

3. More playing time for our big men. We are not a big roster to start with, and when Maric, Bankston and Johnson spend too much time on the bench because of fouls, it really limits our options.

4. MADE free throws. We are as good as anyone at shooting them; we just cannot seem to make them.

5. For Nowell to realize that he is a point guard, not a shooting guard. We have other shooters, and he is not making his shots, anyway. 5-8 is short for high school, and it is REALLY short for Division 1. No matter how good he is, there just are some things that are different in the big time, and he is going to have to adjust his approach.

6. More assists. Fewer turnovers.

7. More shots for Bankston, given how many of them he makes.

8. Better rebounding. We are barely holding our own on the boards.
