I think they will take a step forward, but that there are still some holes in the roster. I do think the young guys will all improve in their play. But unless some other teams regress in our conference, it will be hard to make the final 8.

We will be in year 4 of the rebuild and I am not expecting to make the playoffs. I'm going in with the frame of mind that there is still work to do. If we do make it that's great. But it's not an expectation of mine.
