With a new AD, I would guess it's a make-or-break year for Johnny Dawkins. There aren't too many excuses left--his first really good class are now juniors, he has a few players who look like they could be impact players. That's the good part. The bad part is that Dawkins is an iffy in-game coach and there's not an obvious true big man on the roster. Hopefully new assistant coach Mark Madsen can help coach up those guys who are there.

Best player on the team should be soph. PG Chasson Randle, a surprisingly mature point guard--more of a scoring than passing point. Aaron Bright is a smaller, dynamic guard off the bench; was compared to JJ Barea, which sounds about right as a style (rather than effectiveness) comparison. Big man Dwight Powell is the mystery man of the team, having a good passing eye and ballhandling ability; iffy motor and defense. Might remind you a bit of Lamar Odom (stylistically).

NCAA tournament should be the minimum expectation in a weak-ish Pac-12.
