The potential 3-headed monster
I love the discussion of our 5 spot this year. I know many are sick of talking about it, but what aren't you sick of talking about in the off-season? That's why they call it the "off" season.
Anywho, regardless of who plays the most minutes, I think we're going to be okay. Worst case scenario, we have MP3: a solid defender, rebounder, and screener who provides very little on the offensive end. Best case: a defensive juggernaut/rebounder OR an solid offensive option who keeps the defenses honest. Regardless, I'm not expecting too much from the 5, although a defensive juggernaut would be really nice to have (Hi Sean!).
I think the more pressing questions are:
1) How will out 1 fair this year?
2) Can we score inside at all, including posting up and driving?
3) What do we do with Ingram, a talented, long player who is perfect for a Duke spread 4 but will probably spend more time at the 3?
4) Can Amile improve his offensive game?
5) Can Grayson and Ingram combine for at least 30 per game?
