Regardless of the starters I believe when its all said and done those 8 are the main rotation. In the end I believe the defense will be better basically for the same reasons you do. Battle and Howard have the length and athleticism and are a year older. Thorpe will not be working with the size deficit Gillon had. That will add up to better defense out top. Moyer, Dolezaj and Brissett all bring the needed length and quickness to play effectively on the wings. Moyer had a season to learn and get stronger. These guys will all be able to cover ground as needed and will be competing for PT so they will be motivated. I think they will provide better defense on the wing than the inconsistent D we had last season. Thompson simply cannot be worse on D at the 5 so he should be better. I feel Sidibe will be a plus defender in the middle. I do think defensive rebounding is a question until we see our three forwards in action.

Offensively like you say we will have three proven scorers but its going to come down to the forwards again. Can they shot well enough to keep things spread? Can they attack and convert.
