RE: Soooo.....Haws won't be better or equal?
My apology. 'Nothing' sounds more dramatic. But overall it wasn't that great.

You say we return one scorer... Well KC was 2nd on the team. He'll be back. The VERY most he'd miss is the first couple games, half of which are fluffy. We return 58 out of 84 points per game and we're a year older now.

You're right Haws will keep improving. Austin will be "better" in the sense that we might not have to rely on him so much. If anything, Worthington and Kaufusi will at least produce decent defense. We also get Aytes and Neilson. That's MORE offense and MORE defense.

Bartley will obviously be improved. Once guys get a year under their belts at this level they can really start to excel. His athleticism and skills won't be all star, but will produce nice results. He's a great passer, rebounder, and energy guy.

Mika is a loss but his 12 and 6 will be made up for plus some by multiple players. More depth equals better situations for foul trouble.

We don't need these new guys to be all stars. We need to get the most out of the minutes they'll play. Having a ton of depth is something we didn't have at all last year.

The "rest" are not unknowns. We'll get decent play to excellent play from some of these guys, we have more bodies, we have bigger bodies. We'll be a better rebounding team, better 3 pt shooting team, better defensive team.

Let me rephrase... Nothing about your last two sentences make sense. That was the part I was mainly laughing at. Fewer than 20 wins? lol You should be VERY surprised at that. We have a MUCH, MUCH more favorable schedule than last year. With a bunch of freshmen and no seniors on a defensively-poop team, we still had what, 23 wins?
