And I have never seen a roster like the one we have right now. We have size, athletism, skills, and a great mixture of experience and youth. We have 8-9 guys capable of getting 20-30 points on any given night. We have a basketball junkie coach that the kids seem to love playing for and who seems to inovate as a second nature. In one year he has transformed a roster that had no size and two scorers into the above. I have never seen anything like it anywhere.

On one hand, I grasp that we only have two guys returning. We are pretty much starting from scratch. That's where it gets weird for me. I look at this team on paper and wonder who can match up with us. I look at this team on the court and wonder the same thing. Somebody get in foul trouble? No big deal. A scorer has an off night? We have a roster full of them. Somebody will be hot. We have guys 7-3, 6-10, and 6-9 shooting 3's like guards. If you send your big guys out to guard em, we have a bunch of guards who can take their guy into the vacated paint. We can matchup with size. We can match up with speed. We can win a shootout and we can win a grinder.

Somebody talk me down. This roster looks otherworldly to me. We have plenty of everything including a guru as coach that surely looks like the guy that will know how to maximize said roster. This can't be what I see. What am I missing?
