    It's the depth that concerns me. And the shooting, but I'm counting on picking up at least one grad transfer. The depth is the really scary part. Think about how lucky we were this season with injuries, and we went 9 deep. We also need another big man, since our frosh will be a project and Jones can barely play 20 minutes without a considerable drop-off.

    At least our defense will be better. I'm gonna miss JP and Tre like crazy, but defense was not their forte.

    We have 10 guys this year and Mack has said he likes that number. Don’t sleep on harden. He is that long shooter we need. Also remember he was a true 18 year old freshman this season. I bet he makes a jump. Marshall and Scruggs are studs. I don’t think you have seen what Marshall can really do. Front court is our biggest deficiency and not because of Jones. Boudreaux and Walter will need to step up.

    Goodin
    Harden
    Marshall
    Gates
    Jones

    If Boudreaux is good I could see Marshall playing the 2 and pushing Harden to bench. I see a better defensive team that doesn’t score as much.

    Paul and Q are starting together, get over it. Would expect to see the staff go after a combo-guard type Grad transfer to play off of the bench.

    There definitely will be some differences without two turnstiles on defense out there. Macura and Bluiett were *not* good on-ball defenders.

    Nah, you can make it work. Q has already shown he can play 40 minutes a game if he has to, albeit at a slower tempo. I don't see next year's team running / scoring quickly nearly as much as this year.

    This is a pretty massive change for our team and we'll need time for guys to get used to all their new roles. What are the expectations for next year? I'd gotta think just making the tournament would be a successful season.

    I'm sorry, I laughed out loud at this response. No, they're not going to start together, or no, you're not going to get over it? Oh hell, why not both?

    Keep a winning record in conference play. That's my only goal for next year.

    I think this team could really struggle to score next year, absent a miraculous turnaround from Gates as a senior.
