Clarkson has drawn rave reviews, as you mention. This team can be a NCAA team/bubble team next year if:
1) Clarkson is as good as advertised (talk is of him having a 10-year NBA career)
2) They get halfway decent interior play from 2 of Jonathan Williams III, Torren Jones, Keanu Post, Jankovic, Rosberg
3) Defensive effort is better (last year's team had severe things stacked against it defensively... this year's team just wasn't consistently trying).

I feel like Clarkson is the basketball version of Brian Coulter of football. At this point I am not sure if he can live up to the hype.
I am hoping Post and Jones can make a pressence along with Criswell. I have little hope for interior play from Rosburg and less for Jankovic, too much Euro in his game to be a banger. I am crossing my fingers and hoping JW3 delops and stays inside and does not fall in love with his outside shot.
If they don't paly better D we will go nowhere. it just has to be done and this year the effort and coaching D looked terrible.
