who are you hoping develops? or starts doing something? We have a good team.

1) before the NW game I would have said "Tomi starts playing Tomi ball again". Assuming that his NW game is the trend now, that is not a worry. I mean he was Honorable Mention All-Big Ten last year and lead the team in rebounding (7.7 rpg) and blocked shots (1.2 bpg) and second in scoring (13.0 ppg). Him playing well is great for this team.

2) Andrej Stojakovic learns how to kick to open shooters when he drives. I think we are starting to see a bit of that. He is averaging an anemic 0.9 assists per game (and 1.7 TOs). That is bad. Opponents seems to understand to just pack the lane when he drives because he is not going to pass. Him passing to open shooters would open the lane for him and give us another nearly unstoppable scorer when we really need a bucket. And did Peja never work with his kid on his shot?!?!? His 3pt% is 22.2%...guh. BTW, Davis and Wagler are in the 40s.

3) I had hoped that Petrovic would settle into a serviceable back up guard. It looks like that is not going to happen. Early in the season I was worried about the minutes wearing down our slender, baby faced freshman guard. Wagler is averaging 30 minutes per game. Now we hear that he had lower back spasms at the NW game. I guess we are going to roll the 8 guys
