How are we feeling about the squad this year?

After Shaka's buyout we won't have any money to afford Brian Wardle. 

Shut it all down.

I was somewhat pessimistic heading into the summer but felt better after watching the scrimmage in August.  Stevens can really play and the short stretch Nigel James played before sitting out showed he is a high level athlete that can play immediately.

After watching the Blue and Gold Scrimmage I am firmly in the optimistic camp. Nigel James is so quick and physical on both ends of the floor...he will play a bunch as will Stevens. He is a difference maker. The combo of Gold, Parham, Hamilton, and Clark will be fine in the post.  Hamiton and Clark have come a long ways. By far the most physical and athletic squad Shaka has had and they will play much faster than previous teams.  Consistent outside shooting remains a concern but there are players capable of shooting consistently. This will be a very fun team to watch grow.

The James and Stevens reviews are a reason for cautious optimism in addition to the hope that the retuning role players become stars.  There had to be some infusion of new talent IMO to raise the ceiling of this team.  No returners were stars last year.  Some showed glimpses but not consistently. Shaka has said himself that this year is a stress test on his system.  Can't wait to find out.

The lack of outside shooting is going to continue to be a problem IMO, and is really going to prevent this teams from going too far. They will be fun to watch grow however.
