Good stuff, and I really hope we see some of that fire in Howland this year. The talent seems to be there, but some of the things we continue to do are head scratchers to put it nicely

In looking through some of the stats from this year so far, a few things stand out to me

We don’t seem to be particularly great at anything, but we do a lot of things reasonably well

Defense seems to have mostly improved across the board, but we’ve got to rebound better, and some of the defensive improvement has to be taken with a grain of salt since we haven’t exactly played top notch competition yet

We simply have to get more out of Carter and Ado. Both have really struggled so far this year, and we need them to step up

We need Peters to be aggressive offensively in a Mike Conley way rather than simply jacking up 3s. He’s getting into the lane and flat out blowing by people at times, but he rarely takes it all the way to the basket unless it’s near the end of a game
