With a new coach there is no guarantee Knell starts. If Baker is the better player why start Knell?

If Koz gets only 10 minutes a game that means other guys are performing

I doubt any of those guys throw out 4 to 5 assists per game.

Upgrade of Jax? No. Waterman? No. Johnson? No.

Plato

Not yet. Land Berke and a solid wing scorer and I’ll agree with you

Losing NW, Jax, & AK hurts. The new guys have more talent but lack experience

Kolipoki

To be fair. Hall Saunders Fous Knell and Stewart will also improve.

Thrill

But will have more efficient guys at least in part take their place

BYU '80

9:47pm

Right now? If we're even better than last year's team it's largely cuz Baker was retained — & plays healthy.

SinkingQuffa
