    Yes, I think replace Boz, but would also love to see some more athleticism added too assuming Ty does not regain full athleticism. Ethan Brown helps, but one more athlete, imo.

    That's for sure - I've seen drop some serious coin on opening games of SEC tourney in Nashville

    I really doubt we go after Fland/Claude - could be way off, but that would be a lot to ask the other players to join. Could be way off again.

    Ideally, I do think the trio of Andrej/Tomi/Ky can be very good. Do I see an alpha in there like TSJ/Ayo - not really yet, but can say Brad is really good at developing that player and if he thinks Andrej can be that, I can see it. If we get Andrej and get a good 2 guard that can 3-and-D...

    IMO, with Brad, yes cause Brad I think would feature him to max his talent. However, I don't think it is going to matter cause we seem to be playing moneyball for depth.

    Definitely understand we need some continuity, but as long as we have the money and get a difference-maker offensively, I don't think most people would complain to go with Boz/Tomi. However, we are not going very far if don't get that Ian Jackson/Josh Dix/Riley type scorer/playmaker. I think...

    I'm not worried about what Michigan is assembling assuming Lendeborg goes pro. If he returns, I think they will be a talented team, but not really well put together in terms of spacing, imo. I am more worried about beyond Boz/Tomi, our ability to go all-in on heavy hitters. Boz/Tomi are...

    Can you give us any positives? Cause it seems like we are putting all our eggs in the basket of Sarr/Riley and possibly getting neither if we wait to long on Riley and he goes pro.

    All the twitter smoke seems to imply Rutgers. Would love to have him though - very good player.

    Normally, I would say no, but I do think Brad is the kind of guy that can maximize's A.J.'s ability.

    I am high on Sarr, but the last 6 weeks of Will offensively was pretty elite. I think we asked too much of Riley/KJ as freshman. If we don't ask as much of Sarr as we did of Will/KJ, I do think he can be more consistent cause his athleticism is elite. I just don't want to undersell how good...

    dude is a floor spacer and a multi-dimensional scorer (mid-range king). While bad defensively, I do think Brad could help with that as not many players from AWOI play D.
