Kennedy Chandler: Simply put there is no replacing him with any one player and we'll be lucky to replace his production with 2 or 3 guys. I'm assuming he won't come back, but if he were to return that really ups the ante for this group.
JJJ: I suppose he'll have some options, but I think he'll go through the process get his draft grade and come back a la Admiral Schofield. Schofield went from a pretty good player to a great player, and I could see JJJ taking that same type of step if went on the Admiral "diet" of 1000 shots a day. His physical tools are better than were Admiral's.
Olivier: He returns and was our most consistent post scorer before he got injured. He had already taken a nice step and assuming healthy he should take another one. I could see him as a 14 & 8 type of player.
Uros: Exponentially better player than a year ago and still room to improve. I don't think he'll ever wow us with athletic ability, but he could develop a nice little back to the basket half hook and a few post moves. For what we need him to do, I'd take the Uros we got tonight every night out next season.
Vescovi: Incredible worker. You have to think he adds an element to his game that he lacked tonight and takes another step forward. At minimum even the SAME player is good for us.
BHH: Of all the players on the roster, I'd expect him to make the biggest leap forward. If you watch closely, that kid is smooth and occasionally when he's not thinking about it to much, you see it when he just plays basketball. He's got a back to the basket game, can put it on the floor a little and has decent range for a guy his size. If he buys in the sky is the limit.
Aidoo: Barely scratched the surface this season. Can be an elite rim protector and post defender. He's a guy that could be a double/double guy and you never run a play for him. Just cleans up the glass on both ends.
ZZ: Likely becomes the starter at PG. I don't know what to say. I'm very impressed with him already and you'd expect the sophomore version of him is at least as good and likely better with another year in the system. A little loose with the ball at times, but a damn fine player in this conference.
Tamba: I don't expect a lot from him next season, but could provide spot duty and defend the post. Gives us a 5th post player and 3rd guy 6'11" or taller.
BJ Edwards: If we're lucky, plays the ZZ role giving us energy off the bench, spelling the starter at PG, and occasionally playing off of ZZ on the floor at the same time.
Mashack: Reminds me of Josh Richardson. Really good athlete. Can be come a defensive stopper at either the 2 or 3 while his offensive game develops. High ceiling guy IMO.
