    With Nate changing our starters, will the points allowed per game go back up? Will our points made go up? Short answers please, I have the attention span of a WHOA LOOK AT THAT BUG!

    Defense will stay the same, offense will go up.

    Need to see how Webster does on the switching.

    This is going to be interesting.

    Well you told us to keep it short. I wasn't going to explain why. Do you want me to?

    No that's exactly what I wanted! I was just saying you seem to be quite optimistic. Sorry if it came across as anything more than that perception.

    I have not idea.

    If Web and Steve hit their wide open 3's offense will increase. If they shoot like they did in the early going offense will go down.
    And Roy will struggle.

    Defense actually got better with the three guards. So Web better get better than before.

    Martell shot 6-15 from 3 (40%) in the first 5 games (when he was starting). He's now up to 10-22 (45.5%). As a reserve, he was only 5-23.

    Now that he's starting again, I think he will be fine.

    Webster is 3 times better a defender than Miller, and can spread the defense, so both improve.

    Our ppg allowed will go up because we'll simply play better teams. Not sure about our ppg scored, though. I hope it goes up!
