You play with the players you have, not the ones you wish you had.

More than his own players, he needs a full year with the SAME players, whomever they are.
A years worth of lifting, absorbing the offense, maturing, gaining strength and confidence.
Newbie coach with newbie staff, with newbie players. One Duane Cohill with a full year of the incumbents would be a great start. A stronger, smarter Kostas. We have to learn how to finish close games with all the players. My favorite Flyer went brain dead by not passing to Josh on the low blocks. Won't happen with more experience.
Unfortunately there will be a season full of highs and lows. It's in our DNA right now.
