I see the new backcourt as equal or better than Boum and Kunkel. Oliveri is a very similar player to Boum, and McKnight is more of a PG than either Boum or Kunk. Deep shooting may suffer a bit for the new guys, but I expect the backcourt D to make up the difference.
Quincy Olivari is around 80% from the line and has a higher 3% over 4 years than Boum did prior to coming to Xavier. Dayvion McKnight has done well against high major talent, shot 84% from the line and 46% from the floor during his time at WKU. That is good for a point guard, he can finish. Boum was around 40% for his career prior to X and Kunkel finished around 42% for his career. McKnight isn’t considered a good three point shooter but I bet he will be accurate by being very selective with his 3’s under Sean. As you stated, the defense will be improved but the offense should also be fine.
