At the end of the day, I just don't think this team is good enough for a meaningful run in the ACC Tournament or to make any noise in the NCAA if we somehow got there. Forbes has done a great job of making the team better than its individual parts, but he's working with some serious limitations.
I continue to think next year's team will be better because I expect: (1) Forbes will bring in a very good PG to run the show, especially for what could legitimately be an NCAA Tournament team; (2) we will have a solid backup PG with Ituka healthy; (3) Cam will develop into an absolute force on both ends with a more dangerous outside shot; (4) Keller and Bobi will take significant leaps when the game slows down for them a little, allowing us to play much bigger than most of our opponents; (5) Monsanto learns to keep his cool and continues to be the man; and (6) probably most importantly, I expect Forbes to find one or two great players in the portal. In other words, I think our returning roster is a solid base, but Forbes will improve the overall talent level significantly.
