What’s it going to take for Tech?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tech has three players going (Morrow, Smith and Causey) and one coming (Shumpert).
Shumpert is apparently a very good player, and I can see him at the two spot next season, and Bell/Clinch/Storrs at the other. I may be wrong.
But is one player enough to turn it around? Can enough of the players coming back suddenly get it, see the light, whatever, to be dramatically improved?
Actually, that’s not a fair question for a few reasons.
Shumpert will not be the only new player next season. I don’t know who else will join the team, but there will almost certainly be at least two other additions to the roster, and possibly three. Maybe more if there are any defections from this roster other than those anticipated.
I do think the light can go off for some, and I think the leading candidates to improve dramatically next season are Miller (PG sure is a good spot to have that happen), and Lawal. Gani has some gaping holes in his game, but great ethic and a very nice base to build on.
But this team may need a surprise or two, a player who just makes a quantum leap in a season’s time.
Theories?
