    In response to Chet Forte

I agree with Chet's evaluation of our returning talent. Starting from the bottom and working up, I'm not sure what happened to Davis, who was a much ballyhooed NYC pg, but doesn't have Smith's speed, and seems to have lost his shot.

Hunter needs to spend the next 8 months in the gym practicing shooting, so we can harness his athleticism and not be put in the position on of playing 4 against 5.

Unless they are displaced by the new recruits, Killingsworth and Adlesh will be the 6th man, with the proviso that Adlesh's role as 3 point specialist seems more defined and developed than Killingsworth's as a younger version of Isaac Cohen.

I think opponents have figured out Hickman; his scoring average declined throughout the season, and he needs to spend March-November figuring out how to get his shot off under pressure. Although he will probably be in the starting lineup, there may be some pressure from Myles Hanson, who seems taller and more versatile.

As to the other starters, we know that Smith and Meisner will start, Castlin will probably be at SF, and Faulds will battle Tape for the starting center position, with whoever loses serving as backup. If everyone accomplishes their off-season tasks, and no one is injured, this lineup could be quite good. The problem is that next year, with the certain exception of Brown, and the possible exception of Princeton, everyone else in the IL will also be better.
