I agree with the bolded.  The whole roster as it stands has huge error bars for future performance.

Sibi could be Ugonna Onyenso or yet another unskilled cat rescuer that can't play.

White and Anthony could live up to their top30 high school recruit rankings, or continue to look lost a significant amount of time on the floor.

Tobiason could translate perfectly to a higher conference, and be a star, or be exposed.

Mahmutovic is being hailed as the equivalent of a 5 star recruit, but even those guys bomb sometimes. But he shot 49% from three for a whole season in a lower level Euro pro league!

Moesch seems to have tremendous basketball talent and that mysterious "it" that makes a good player.  But he also is a freshman and weighs substantially less than the average Syracusefan.com poster.

Doty is a little less of a wild card.  He played a great game against Duke, but coming from the MAAC to the ACC is a huge leap.  Can he physically compete?  Will being slight of build and less athletic take away his ability to score at a high level?

I could go through the whole roster, and write extensive reviews.  Looking at the team as a whole so far, out of everybody, only Goodrick and Dual are likely to be predictable.  Both transfer seniors who have played at a bunch of schools, with reasonably long track records. I expect steady unspectacular play.  But even then, how will their evolution as players continue, and how will their ability translate to the higher level?
