We have a first-round draft pick at center. Let's take advantage of him, and all the length/athleticism that will be around him.
I think the identity of our offense will be clearer from the get-go than it was last season. And the potential for a trio of reliable scorers, with another trio of consistent producers, is present, IMO.
And lastly, we have three seniors (not counting Dawkins). As Kedsy pointed out in the spring, that has been a very good omen under Coach K:
Our teams with at least three seniors: '86, '89, '90, '94, '06, '10.
