Certainly we had guard issues last season. Murray was hurt in practice in October, and tried to play but couldn't shoot. Jones was hurt badly enough to be ineffective the first 2/3s of the season. He improved down the stretch (overall he shot .316 from three after being .444 his first year and .371 his second). Tsohonis was supposed to pick up the slack from Slater graduating, he did score but could not shoot from outside (whether from injury or poor selection and technique). Rotegaard can shoot, but couldn't create a shot, so he is limited (he shot a really good .383 last season up from .333 his first with us). Tone Hunter was asked to play a larger role than expected, he was not up to it. Tone shot a horrid .218 from three. So with Murray out and Jones often out, and not at his best when it, we often had a guard rotation of:

PG: Tshonis (.264), Hunter(.216)

This meant that opposing teams could sag off of our PGs and pack the paint, limiting drives and inside passes.

If we are going to be better this year, it starts with being healthy. If Jones and Tsohonis can return to their historical averages, and Thompson and Silva can provide solid PG play. And George can increase his usage, and Rotegaard can continue to improve, we will be really good outside. If Aboubacar can continue to develop an outside game, we could be unstoppable. Add in all the inside depth in both Traores, Stroud, Polynice and Ngoyi we have the personnel to be the best LB team since the Fab 4. For me, it all starts with healthy, and regaining the outside game.
