That was the one thing that was supposed to be addresed in the off season, and they cocked it up. And just like in last year's Philly Hoop Group Classic, you cannot depend on bracketing, you have to actually schedule the big boys even if it means a one time road game. I am sure this team will improve as the season progresses, that is, if they can find some leadership other than TB. They will find their weapons for different scoring threats if that leadership emerges. Last year, I doubt Danny or Stanley would have been as dangerous without Jamelle's intimidating presence.
