What you want out of your starting five!

[incHOGnito]

1. Point Guard that can create his own shot, distribute to the bigs, and hit his free throws.
2. Lock down defender, who knows that his role is to be a garbage man.
3. Shooter, who draws a defender everywhere he goes on the court.
4. Big man with moves and ball skills around the rim.
5. Big man who can run the floor and rebounds.

I think we have all five, and it is starting to show. Two things we need to improve:

1. Powell and Washington need to man up on the boards.  Where's the Washington that lead the SEC in rebounding last year (could be because of his back).
2. Powell makes some very nice moves around the basket.  With a little more work, he will be finishing those baskets around the rim that he was missing today more consistently.  After an offseason in the weightroom, we won't see him getting stripped on the way to the basket near as much.
