This is spot on.  Next season is all about how big a jump KJ makes.

- If KJ stays the same, next year SU has about the same season as this year.
- If KJ becomes a solid PG, next year SU will be just in and out of top 25 throughout the year.
- If KJ improves dramatically, next year SU reaches the top 10 at some point, and will remain there throughout the year.

MG probably gives the same as last year with a bit more senior leadership, which means he will be a great player next year.
TC, hoping he has an Andy Rautins type senior campaign, but who knows.
Roberson just needs to do what he does, rebound and stick the ball in the basketball from close up.  Would be great if he developed a reliable mid-range game, but don't count on it.
DC, hope he's healthy, that's the main battle, if so, he'll be fine manning the middle with backup from Diagne/Chino
The Freshman, they are non-one-and-done type freshman, hoping they are going to contribute in a consistent and significant way is wishful thinking.  (That's being realistic, and not optimistic)

In a way, I like what I'm seeing.  If CM came back, the offense would be all about CM and unless CM can truly dominate offensively.  That can cause problems when he's not getting it done.  (Quite frankly, that was a problem with this year's team.  The team always felt we needed to go through Rak.  Which worked most of the time, but when the shots weren't falling, offense was blah.)  With CM gone, the offensive will be more balanced and go with the hot-hand where everyone feels they have a chance to contribute.  (Hope it works out, we'll see.)
