Let's be honest.
The Orange have not done a great job adapting to the new reality: any good consistent player is quite likely a 1 and done or 2 and through.
That means teams need to constantly be recruiting players who can step in at key positions.

There's nothing more important than the point.
And look where we are...again.
No clear person to whom the Orange can give the ball with confidence.

That's 3 years in a row.
(We were lucky two seasons ago when Gbinije stepped into the role rather unexpectedly).
After Michael Carter-Williams and Tyler Ennis we were on a roll that ended abruptly.

As the Orange recover from the lost scholarships they need to start doing a little pre-emptive stockpiling.
It's hard because no top player wants to come in as back-up.
And the coach doesn't like playing a deep bench (which helps teams like Kentucky and Duke load up).
But it's a different era and until it changes the Orange need to adapt.
Otherwise this situation may be a persistent issue.
