- Aluma playing like his back is holding him back. As someone who has battled low back pain for most of my adult life, when your back hurts, it limits your overall movement.
- Cattoor looks like he will be swiss army knife for this team.
- Murphy's leadership and point guard play will make everyone say "What was the name of last year's point guard?"
- N'guessen is ready to blossum, especially if he can hit a few jumpers to keep defenses from slacking off playing him for drives.
- Allyene and Cattoor both look like rebounding has been something they are concentrating more of. Both ready to take big shots too.
- Big John is ready to give about 10 minutes per game of banging and playing defense to relieve Aluma.
- Mattox is another 10 minute guy right now.
- Pedulla, Haynes, and Kidd mopup duty for now.
