Biggest question for me, is who is going to step up and be the reliable outside threat that this offense needs. 2 seasons ago, UD had 3 players (Crutch, Watson and Obi) all around the 40% mark on a fairly solid number of attempts. PG, Wing, Post really allowed that offense to spread out the defense and prevent teams from packing things inside.
Last year, Ibi remained fairly consistent (though he ran hot/cold thru the course of multiple games IIRC), while Crutch dipped a bit and they lost the contributions that Rodney was able to add on the perimeter for much of the year. Of course, Obi wasn't there either.
amzil, Weaver, Blankney, Zimi and Brea all shot a semi-decent % from 3 land, but all came on relatively low volume attempts. Who is going to step up and become a high volume, high % 3 point threat that the opposing team has to keep a body on to open up lanes for drives (and dishes)?
