Final Comments:
This group has a lot of versatility at both ends of the floor. We have a variety of skill sets that will blend well together if guys are willing to embrace roles that will best serve the team. If we embrace the day to day fight to improve and become intentional about celebrating each other, there is no reason we can't compete with everyone on our schedule.
