I kinda hope Tyrese changes his shot starting this off-season. Maybe a hard thing to do now. But his shot I think, originates from his chest and is easily blocked or altered. I'd like to see his release point much higher, more wrist, and for him to jump a bit more.I don't think it's a given that we maintain or take a step forward. But I think even if IB leaves, it doesn't have to be a big step back.
I expect Tre King to come in and be a major factor at the 4/5 - he'll provide some offensive and defensive versatility. I expect Hunter to improve, potentially a lot. He already shot a lot better later in the season; it was more of an asset than a liability. In my mind, his biggest area to improve is finishing at the rim and/or drawing fouls, then the next is limiting turnovers. If he does both of those things, I think he could be a 1st team Big 12 player next year.
If those things happen and TJ gets someone who at least is an okay Big 12 starter to replace Brockington, then this team could maintain. Even in that scenario if Hunter doesn't improve as much as I think he could, that team could still compete for the tournament. Especially since the defensive culture is set now, I think the offense next year shows more flexibility and fluidity.
Hopefully he learned some from Isaiah this year and how he could get his shot over almost anyone.
