I would like to see Jirak improve as we could use a big guy who rebounds and can hit the outside shot. Also Combs as we will need him at pg. some of the other guys need to improve their shooting. Of course saying this without any additions or subtractions for the team next year.

I think Jirak improves the most, but he also has the most to improve on.

I think Tate and Coop are going to really improve too and become BIG problems for the B1G.

Really going to miss Stirtz. Combs really improved, so with more off-season improvement, he'll fill that nicely.

Plus the word was Trey Thompson was killing it in practice.

Another guard and a true big PLEASE!

Honestly, the new players we get in the portal or from HS, hopefully. Nothing against the current guys, but we need some athletes now.

Pretty much everyone on the team will have to really improve to help make up the loss of Stirtz. Howard was so hesitant in some games and situations, that has to be different. I think Ben adds some twists and turns to the offense to offset the loss of Bennett too.

I think if Banks gets the additional year he could also make another leap kind of how his 3pt shooting improved vastly from the Drake year to this year.

Howard has to shoot 20k 3 pointers( Luka Garza shot 43k 3 pointers in off-season,NBA record)
in off-season....he absolutely needs to become a true shooting threat.
Ben said in his presser that we simply did not have enough shooting to space the floor. Howard did knock down a big 3 late in game so he can improve,just get consistent

Sage needs to just get stronger

Cooper also needs more muscle which allows him to guard guys like mirkovic and the husker big...great job,Cooper!

Kael also needs to work on his outside shooting.

Jirak needs to work on his body. He seems to be a worker so I think he can get there..maybe another year of training gets him on court.

Tavion can improve his consistency shooting wise but cam and him are maxed out,really..just keep training.

Overall some room for individual improvement but obviously need some more pieces to stay competitive in a brutal league.
