The Burning Questions…
I need to stop thinking about the game, so during this mourning period/down-time before I can get into baseball, I thought I would start a list of the burning questions (some more obvious than others) to be answered (or at least pondered) over the coming summer months…
1. DJ: Will he stay or will he go?
2. If DJ goes, what kind of team will we be with Acker/Tyshawn running the point?
3. If DJ stays, who goes? And can we convince him to shoot less?
4. What can we expect from Christopherson? Will his 3pt shooting live up to the hype? Can he guard/run-the-floor like we will need him to to warrant serious minutes?
5. What sort of strides can we expect from Mbakwe in the off-season? Will he finally be the impact post-player we have all so desperately yearned for since Our Big Daddy?
6. For which open jobs will Crean get a mention?
7. Will our strides made in post season play this year temper the Crean naysayers, or will even more come out of the woodwork?
8. Was Jerel’s postseason play a sign of things to come? Will his game reach yet another level next season?
9. Is there any possible way for any or all of the “Big 3” guards to improve their outside shooting?
10. Will Crean make a full-time switch to Diet Coke?
- A starting 5 next year of DJ, Jerel, Wes, Hayward and Mbakwe can hang with any starting 5 in the country.
- I’m sad to see the season come to an end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought we played our hearts out.
