Pantagraph beat writer predicts the 2010-2011 Valley finish

[houstontxbrave]

I'm just afraid without anyone who can shoot or anyone who can play defence or rebound it will be another long season. I don't know how we can expect to overcome these deficiencys. Probably playin game.

I think this might be a huge reason Pratt was hired. But your right if Bradley does not address the poor defensive positioning and the poor fundamentials in rebounding it will be a difficult season.

I am not worried about our shooting/scoring.

But right now the most important things are finding somone anyone to play the 5 and finding someone who can bring the game/attitude to the floor that Roberts brought nightly.

C-Rob was pretty intense, but a few other guys have shown intensity and attitude last season - freshmen DSE & JE to name a couple.
I saw about 12 BU games, and I don't remember seeing DSE not give 100%when on the court. Add with that his poise, clutch shooting, and ability to board for a guard, he might be that "someone". Though A-Dub had a good returning season, I look for him to fine-tune many parts of his game that were lacking last year.
We DO have shooters - SM, AW, DSE, DD, & TB (good touch from outside), MK (when he plays).
I don't see us struggling to score in the early season like last year - too many weapons & lots of experience playing together.
