I think its reasonable to expect us to take a step back defensively this year, and likely on the boards and blocked shots. Hopefully we can get our turnover margin and assist to turnover ratio down to somewhere close to 200th this season, at CMSU that was typically the hallmark stat for Kim's teams. And it would be good to see us in the 175-200 range in terms of assists.
It would be nice in year three for a style of play or relative strength to emerge, and see us climb into the top 100 in several of these categories as we start to display some kind of identity. The best development in my opinion this season would be the emergence of some evidence of coaching.
