I assume we will bring back Maliq, JJ, Cope, Westry, Bell, and MacLeod. We add Freeman and Moore.
Where would that leave us ?
Maliq and Bell would probably be starting forwards. Freeman should get plenty of minutes off the bench. That is a huge upgrade over this season's forwards.
JJ and Cope can be starting guards. Moore can be the third guard.
MacLeod can be a backup center. Brown could also play some backup center depending upon how good Freeman does.
That would leave the biggest portal need as a bona fide starting caliber center. Getting the right guy in this slot could really solidify the team. Gimme a tough kid who can rebound and defend the interior and has at least a little bit of an inside game other than a dunk, if he could hit an occasional trey - perfecto !!!
Westry is a huge wild card - can he even play, and if so, at what level ?
With this situation, I would not see us attracting any really top guys at G or , since it would be hard to say that minutes or even starting could be guaranteed unless we are talking about getting a mega talent. Possibly a plus PG could supplant Cope as starting guard, but I do love the way Cope sees the floor and I think Cope is starting caliber.
