Scouting report

Signature strength

You cannot load up on anybody. Brandon Heath and a lineup full of shooters turn the half court into a track meet of clean looks.

Fatal flaw

The talent is not the question, the resume is. Deji Ibitayo leads a group with the least tournament-tested production, and elimination basketball asks things a regular season never does.
