A lot really comes down to whether or not Howard can get his head screwed on straight and be a lead guard that the coaches can rely upon, and whether he'll provided consistent shooting / scoring.  If he can do all three, it would make the team's potential exponentially better.  If not, then I think / believe that Thorpe would be an adequate replacement at lead guard, playing alongside a versatile talent like Battle.  More than adequate.

The ability to march out a capable Frank playing alongside double-digit caliber Thorpe, Battle, and Thompson suddenly would be a formidable socring lineup.  Throw in your big du jour to round out that group.

And IMO, the second biggest question centers around how much growth Chukwu will show with another year under his belt.  If he's basically the same, then relegate him to some token reserve minutes.  If he's better than that, then he could be an intriguing component on a team of capable scorers like the group listed above.

And of course, our group of three incoming "frosh" [including Moyer here, because he hasn't played] forwards will be interesting, as well.

This team has a lot more talent than when things looked bleak 6 weeks ago.  Hope some of the questions listed above get answered positively, because this team might have the capacity to be quite a bit better than what many prognosticators expect / expected.
