at least we still have Reggie

Although we don't have anywhere near ACC level talent for the most part, Jackson, Trapani and Raji can all play. Elmore is really promising and we have a coach, something we've been missing here for a while. I also have high hopes for Biko Paris this year, improving on a dismal last season.

Even with worse talent, this team will still perform better than the Skinner led team would have next year under his incompetent leadership

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for Paris.

He showed a ton of ability as a sophomore. There's another player I'm convinced will be better under different coaching.

Correction. Biko showed promise in one game as a sophomore. His problem is that he isn't confident enough to attempt to drive to the rim, although he has the quickness. He also can't make a layup. His biggest obstacle is really himself. We'd see it every time the Eagles were in transition, he'd look like he was going to push the ball and drive right to the rim, but at the last second he would pull back and proceed to dribble around for 20 seconds.

Can I introduce you to the tight flex offense? Donahue's system is more wide-open and hopefully can take advantage of the fact that in transition, Paris is a good ball handler and passes reasonably well. You should have Paris leading the break with Jackson on one wing and Elmore/Raji on the other with Trapani filling down the middle.

It's not the flex I'm talking about. It's the player. It's no coincidence that when Jackson ran the point the offense picked up. It's because he wasn't afraid to push the ball. It was the flex for him, too.
