Shawn Long is questionable for Friday's season opener

I agree that this team could be better than last years team. Seems like we will have a deeper bench. You cant replace EP but we might have a more rounded basketball team. Having some bigger bodies inside will allow SL to get some rest and also to face the basket and stretch the floor. I think guard play is the question mark right now but we have several guys that can contribute.
Its early but if you cant feel confident in your team NOW when can you?

In the event we have success in the four road games coming up in the next two weeks, then even the most skeptical fan will have confidence things are headed in the right direction.

Some challenges in games ahead and will give us a good idea of early development. I'm really encouraged by our potential depth. If one or two of our returnees really step up, could be scary good. Shawn will have help. Better shooting and better FTs along with better rebounding. Now, if defense continues to improve as it did last year, there will be joy in the 'Dome, a lot.
