CVL is going to play a key role this season

We would have lost yesterday without his shooting. We lost games last year where he had open looks at critical moments in the game that he did not convert. Given our relative weakness inside, he has to be a reliable threat from 3. If he shoots under 30%, we're in trouble. Hughes, Walton, Geist and Phillips will have hot streaks, and hopefully we can always have at least one hot hand, but we have to have that one guy that the other team has to chase all over the perimeter. It opens up the 1/2 court offense. Without it, a tight zone defense will shut us down.
