Sarr, Ace, Ben …

Coward, Ace, Ben …

And they’d add another as well …

Either one of those scenarios would be a beautiful thing. I do think Ben will have a better season in year 2. He’s a better shooter than he showed. I expect his three-point percentage to climb a little bit.

Same thing with Kylan… KB shot 24.5% from distance last year. He shot between 37-39% at Arizona. I expect his three point shooting numbers to increase and get much closer to his career in Tucson.

As Gritty pointed out a couple weeks ago, if Kylan can do that he becomes a all-Big Ten type player.

I'm not upset he wants to come back. Im just not thrilled about where are recruiting is at that we really need to entertain the prospect. We should already have solid transfer starters on the way with solid bench players ready to go so that we aren't looking at the 5th leading scorer of a terrible team regardless of who it is.

A floor raiser? Arizona State was 13-20 last year and Miller was their 5th leading scorer. He isn't a big rebounder or assist guy, which is funny because he left to be a PG. I certainly think he is better than DGL, but people, we need to live in reality. Every recruit is not a superstar. Miller is a solid rotational guy on a good team.

Yes, a bench guy that solidifies a spot that is better than the last guy is pretty much a definitive floor raiser.

If it’s Coward or Sarr at the SF as Indy suggests- then we would need a starting caliber SG still and would have the money for one

It could be the mystery guy that still hasn’t entered the portal that Lville has alluded to

I don't know, it seems like they might only have the money to add one of Sarr or Coward and then fill around them with cheaper options.

I think Coward and Sarr would complement each other well and Coward could play the 2 with Sarr at the 3. Then you're just looking for a bench guard in the DGL role like Miller or someone else.

But Indys lineup only listed one of Sarr or Coward so I would assume they don't have the money to get two big ticket guys like that.

I'll say it. I'd just as rather have a Coward. Give me a 22 year old off an injury with something to prove.

If you actually wait til May, as mentioned earlier, and Sarr goes Pro or joins the Brotherhood...SOL
