3 things I'm encouraged by, 3 things I'm not encouraged by


POSITIVES:
1. Ahmed Hill appears to really be finding himself: He's knocking down some outside shots...not at a crazy clip, but he was 3-6 yesterday with a monster make late, 2-6 v Duke (5/11). That's what we need from him. But particularly the past 2 games, he's attacked the rim, mostly with confidence (one bad take @FSU that I remember)

2. Bede: Not J-Rob, we get it. But he's maintained his defensive proficiency and slowly improved his offensive game...

3. Rebounding: Our team rebounding is at an elite level right now. Some teams will grab long rebounds as we're forcing a lot of deep shots. And sometimes a tall guy is gonna just go get it. But all in all, we're rebounding as a team extremely well - as well as could be expected

CONCERNS:
1. Composure: For the first time, I felt we came unraveled last night. We allowed momentum to snowball and some questionable calls to effect our play...need to get that righted

2. NAW: Needs 5 back, we all know it. I'm less concerned with his offensive game and more concerned by some of the forced passes he attempts...

3. 5's return: We've completely remade our identity. We're not as good as we were before he went down, but how do we adapt when he returns?
