Rambling game thoughts (Part 2)

The more I see from the backups, the more my preseason fear is realized: our depth is extremely tenuous. The starters seem to perform well, but once we get one or two backups in there (on both sides of the ball), the drop-off is palpable. I'd love to see Graham Pocic continue to make a run at Randall Hunt, and Corey Lewis probably has more physical tools than Ryan Palmer. But when they're in there, I'm just not seeing it.
