[QUOTE="ILLINIWEK86, post: 1373495, member: 341680"] I think they need to start preparing for life without Smith, and possibly Lucas as well. Since neither one of them can hit an outside shot, I think Ayo can at least replace the production we have seen out of those two, because it's not likely he's going to start magically hitting 3's on a consistent basis. Our overall offense should be improved, but we will still be plagued by outside shooting unless Underwood can convince opposing coaches to only play 4 players so Jordan can have the 3 seconds he needs to set up and release his shot. Ayo will not dominate other players like he does now, because he will actually be playing guys that can keep up with him on his drives to the basket, and honestly how many times do we see this offense set up an open mid range shot? Especially, when every team in the world knows that if they execute the zone against us, and keep it in the half court they WILL win because this team can't score from the perimeter besides 1 player who is only 6' tall. This program is in trouble, and there isn't really anything to suggest that next year it will be any better. [/QUOTE]
