Overall A-

TO DO

Develop team chemistry with seven new players joining four returnees.

Cultivate a deeper bench so players will be fresher and able to run Giacoletti's pressure defense style.

Find a 4-man to replace Justin Hawkins. Jonas Langvad or 6-10, 250 newcomer Misha Radojevic could fill the bill.

GOING

Andrew Bogut, center, the 2004-05 consensus college player of the year, will be playing somewhere in the NBA next year.

Marc Jackson, guard, his toughness and defensive presence will be hard to replace.

Justin Hawkins, forward, though inconsistent, he was a tenacious rebounder for his size.


COMING BACK

Tim Drisdom, guard, has started for 3 years and may be ready for that breakout season.

Bryant Markson, forward, Utes' most improved player this year can slash to the basket and hit the 3-pointer.

Richard Chaney, guard-forward, was more effective under Rick Majerus' controlled system and will need to expand his game next year.

Chris Jackson, center, may have hard time beating out redshirt freshman Luke Nevill.
