Looking at the Wiki on Tony Bennett, I saw this bit

Part of Bennett's philosophy is that it's a gift to be able to play (or coach) basketball at a high level and "to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." To convey that to his players in the off-season, he's asked, "if you played [last year's version of] yourself one-on-one, could you dominate yourself now? If you can't say yes, then you have not done your job improving."​

Freshmen and new transfers make that assessment harder, but I think a few of our guys could answer that "yes." Especially if you divide the question into offense and defense.

What do you think?

Here's my take. Feel free to reuse the table with your own answers.
