Scouting report

Signature strength

The floor is stretched wall to wall. Kashaun Hicks alone bends a defense out of shape, and with shooting at four spots there is no paint to pack and nobody safe to help off.

Fatal flaw

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