I would like us to be able to close games out a bit better. Or keep a lead a little better. Get and maintain control of a game would be ideal. We don't have to thoroughly dominate. But if we are up 10pts with 10 minutes to play, it would be great to see us starting to clamp down and send that vibe that it is OUR game the rest of the way. We last saw this I think with Krut and Lucas. Easier said then done, I know, but we have been squeaking by in our wins for the better parts. Hey, not complaining, but sort of a nice "wishing and hoping".

[Braden will be tough to replace but I am sure the coaching staff already has their eye on a few lead guards who will be in the portal in the next month or so.[/quote] ]

Drew has some good things to say about Braden during the interview in the below link.
Braden will be tough to replace.
I have always felt confident with him as our ball handler.
But Drew has shown us that he and his recruiting team can do a good job from portal and recruiting.

Think JQ will get the chance to be the primary PG next year. And then we will get a steady hand to share the duties with him--someone similar to Dolan this year.

No doubt that Quinn will get a shot but there is no way that Drew is just looking for someone to share the duties at PG. This year, Norris, Quinn, and Dolan split it up with the majority of minutes going to Braden. I would not be surprised if they bring in a “true PG” and another combo guard for next year's backcourt.
