...backcourt. As good as Mahaney was offensively he got exposed a lot defensively. They were able to hide it some this past year because they had Logan Johnson but teams figured it out and ran pnr to specifically force a switch and get Mahaney defending their ball handler. We did that to take advantage of him during our big comeback from being 26 down and got to within 3.

Also does Marciulionis slide into Ducas' spot on the wing? Ducas was a big time shot taker/maker from deep, Marciulionis isn't.

Losing Bowen, Johnson and Ducas represents about 250 total starts coming out of his rotation. That's an incredible amount of chemistry, continuity and glue that will be missing. They went 14-10 the first year those 3 became starters. Hard to imagine they don't take another big step backwards while they regroup and bring new guys along
