I'm torn on this one...I could see it going either way...I'm optimistic by nature so I'll say true and here's why...
We no doubt lose our best player and the only guy that seems to be able to create his own shot...but J Rich is also not a PG although he has done admirably this season...if we land Gray and he pans out and Bonds can give backup minutes then we'll have an actual PG position next year....the wings will be better than average with Hubbs, Punter, Baulkman and Mostella all back and with a year of experience in this system...in the post Moore will continue to be a matchup nightmare and Owens, Carmichael and McGhee will all have more than a year in the weight room as well as experience from this year so IMO were less likely to get pushed around inside as much...and if this NCAA stuff gets worked out and Tyndall is still here then that will no longer be a distraction...
I know there are several ifs in there...but I chose to be optimistic on this...I know this season hasn't been great but think about everything this team went through in the offseason and tell me you honestly expected better than what they have done this year...I sure didn't
