Yep, now we’ll see how much of a jump the staff has made from their sophomore to junior season. Severe injury issues are the only excuse for not having a very good season(top 3 in ACC and top 20 nationally.At this point I would give Hubert a very strong A for his roster changes this off season. Only reason I can't give A+ is maybe he could have got a little bit more than Wojick as a back up 3. And even he can play I think, his main role may be to hit open jumpers and I do feel he can do that well.
Now we have to see how they will all come together but the pieces do seem to fit well on paper, they don't play on paper however.
I agree with all of that but chemistry and cohesion, where do you get that? The best place to start is withy a real PG as your starting PG, something we have not had since Joel left. What we have had has been combos playing the point or PG that look for their own shot way to much (FYI, I did feel even Joel slipped in to that taking to many shots deal). What we have needed, what would have made all the difference last season was having a pass first, really quick, solid ball handler, solid passer that takes a QBs mindset to the floor. Now we actually had one of those last season (Seth) but he was not allowed to play the point but for a couple short spots, he was most often in as the 2 or 3.I am holding off until I see the product on the floor. The last few seasons of UNC basketball have all shared a true lack of chemistry, a bunch of guys wearing the same uniform but not a team. Annual roster turnover really hurts a coach's ability to build that chemistry and cohesion. Are the parts there? on paper, yes, but they were there last season also.
I will give Hubert credit for filling open spots, but I have to give him some blame for so many spots being available.
I resemble that remark. What's on paper and what shows on the court could be 2 different animals. We were ranked #1 last season and you saw how that turned out. Just sayin'.I am holding off until I see the product on the floor.

I believe the greatest inhibitor of team chemistry left an open spotI am holding off until I see the product on the floor.
