Strong being a relative term. Competitive is more accurate. I am planning a post on how I think this team will look; for me, the wild card is Coker. I think he has a wealth of talent but he gets unbelievably bad post position on defense and can't use his strength and ability. If he comes in a little stronger, a little quicker, and with better anticipation, he might be something, though he'll foul out of multiple games.
And Evans is proof that the staff was working with him; he looked terrible in the beginning of the season and much better at the end, though he has no offense, occasionally thinks he can shoot, bricks free throws, and is too eager to help on defense (and then someone goes by him for a dunk).
