Goals: I wanted to build better around Cade. First way to do that is add perimeter shooting. I wanna open up space for Cade and Ivey to cook. I want a switchable defense with an anchor who can potentially stretch the floor out to the three point line. Size won’t be a concern because of Cade and Ivey’s strength, length and athleticism. I want to rebuild the bench and finish some of the reacclimation projects Weaver has started. I want to set the team up to address needs in the draft while also not being god awful during the regular season.
