Obviously losing Stewart is a killer but if we can get the transfers eligible and if Quade can get/stay eligible I don’t hate this team. We? have shooters now which we?ve not had in the shop era outside of Crisp and flashes from Battle.

Quade
Stevenson/Bajema
Naz
Wright/Brooks
Roberts

With Tsohonis, Bey, Battle, the other whitey, Wright/Brooks, Penn-Johnson off the bench.

Really only Naz and Quade have spots locked up so lots of competition.

It should be a better team than this year which isn’t saying much but is better than I was thinking in March.

We’ll be better than I expected a few months ago, but that starting 5 is extremely underwhelming. Even with a couple shooters, unless Hop’s offense somehow doesn’t suck, we’re going to struggle to score.

Meh, Quade still seems a lot like a Gaddy type player.

Ok on a good team he is fine, on a bad team he is garbage.

Quade just isn’t athletic enough or a good enough shooter to create things on his own.

I have zero confidence Naz can figure it out, dude hasn’t improved, still just a high schooler trying to out athlete everyone.

I have a lot more doubts on Hops ability to coach, his offensive scheme is a fucking shit show and always has been. When the defense was good it was propped up by one of the best college defenders of all time.

There was little to no individual player improvement last year and the defense was poor to the point of switching to a shitty man defense even during the preseason.

IMO if there is actual player buy in to the system maybe the team can be good, McDaniels and to a smaller extent Quade last year killed the defensive team hardworking culture.

They will probably suck.
