Well, I don’t think Garza can get much better but just having him back alone is pretty unprecedented in college hoops. Wieskamp and McCaffrey could go from 34% shooters to 40%+ shooters and their offense would go from great to unguardable.

I don’t expect their defense to improve much at all, they were 97th in KenPom ranks last year. My bet would be that this improves slightly just off of experience alone. I don’t think that’s a mandatory development though for them to be better next year - Bohannon back + NPOY back + better shooting from wings + return everyone and expect basic freshman to sophomore leaps is a recipe for an improved team in my book.

Revisiting the post that turned me into the UMhoops resident Iowa stan ^^

Garza - 28 & 9 on 63/49/75 splits
Weiskamp - 40% from three
McCaffrey - 28% from three (I missed this one)
Iowa’s defense kenpom rank: 72nd

3rd on kenpom as of now and tied for 1st in Big Ten.
