- Coaching staff and management have set clear expectations at camp, and players report collective buy-in that has sharpened internal battles for rotation minutes.
- LaRavia averaged 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds last season with a 32.1 percent 3-point mark that he needs to restore if he wants to secure regular minutes or a starting role.
