A Look Ahead: The Versatiles

In our previous comments about next season, we’ve looked primarily at bigs and guards. As you probably know, Coach K famously doesn’t use positions. In Cameron, when players are announced, no positions are identified.

Players are simply encouraged to fill team needs, do what they do well, and learn to do other things well.
