    Bajema had 26 points last year, 1/4 of the points Battle scored. Both were young and need to add strength, but will be good role players in the coming years. I had high hopes for Bey and he hasn't progressed much yet, but hopefully we can get something out of him.

    I think Stevenson will likely start (if he can play this year). He didn't shoot the ball well at Wichita, but he is a scorer and can create on his own. In Hop's offense (or lack there of), we need players that can create when nothing is happening. Quade is an okay role player, but he can't be relied on for scoring.

    The team could be pretty good in two years - assuming Hop can figure something out on the offensive end, but next year will likely still be rough. We have ZERO post threat (please Banchero help us in 2021) and no reliable scorers.

    Quade
    Stevenson
    Naz
    Wright
    Roberts

    Off the bench:
    Battle, Bey, Bajema

    That starting 5 is depressing.

    I like it 1-3. Bigs are a big question though, as usual at UW.

    I don’t know enough about Stevenson to feel good about him as a starter.

    Quade is Gaddy 2.0

    Naz needs to level up in a significant way and become the guy. To date we have not seen that.

    Wright is a poor man’s Darnell Gant.

    Roberts should be good, but is a question mark, I assume he can rebound and defend well enough.

    But I only see one above average offensive player in that mix.

    I think Quade is better than you guys are giving him credit for. I know the team completely cratered without him.

    I’m just not sure if he’ll be on the court.

    Here's a Quarantine special Doog theory I'm going with.

    Roberts is dating one of Milloy's daughters. That's a championship family with championship work ethic. Roberts has incredible potential.

    With Lawyer barking at him, he will end up being good.

    Wonder who he is talking to here?
