...obviously that can be difference-makers, that can make plays you can't coach"

Coach gets it, and understands the harsh reality with respect to our current personnel heading into next year.

He also makes a great point about Dedric: namely, how Dedric should be more of a 16/8 (PPG/REB) type player than a 20/12 player, but with this cast he did not have such a luxury. He had to be THE guy, instead of a guy who got his within the flow of a more balanced offense and was allowed to make others better as well.

I hope we get DL back next year, because we can build around Dotson and him (and hopefully Dok) with our shooter/athlete recruiting strategy. But honestly, I can't see what DL would have to gain from another year that he didn't already showcase this year. (Just speaking objectively, if I'm in his shoes or thinking like his parents)

I guess I missed something this season (the end weeks). Not sure what people expected from this team which, I though, was made up of some young players and bench players and without most of the top players? Given that, I wasn’t expecting too much. And they have been inconsistent. Big wins, then loss. So I guess for me this second game wasn’t a huge surprise, though I had hopes of two good wins in a row. I’m hoping for a better year next year as these kids grow a bit with this experience and, hopefully, we get a couple of players back/new.
