I think G, TR, KJ2 will be the key core players.  CM will not be fully recovered until late November and he will need time to get back to NBA level play.  DC2 is a complete unknown.  It's not even clear if he's going to be able to play.   And even if he does play how good will he be and will his knees hold up for the entire season is a legitmate question.  Who knows if CO even gets to play.  And even though TC is great on defense for whatever reason he has not been the most consistent three point shooter under pressure.  I love TC's court energy but we really need a consistent outside threat.

So that leaves the freshmen.   My hope is Malachi can contribute right off the bat.  I am going to try to see Diagne play tonight in Toms River.  If CO doesn't contribute then we will definitely need meaningful minutes from Diagne.  TL is a complete unknown but will probably not play with G on the team.   I hope TL is not another BJ.  And I hope FH is not another RP.   If we get TB then TB may be the replacement for Rak.   We certainly have a lot of unknowns going into next year.

I hope TR follows the Rak path to success but does it one year earlier.  I think TR can be a player who dramatically improves next season to NBA draft level college player.   CM may need extra year to fully get back to form.   Orange life is always full of drama!

Even though I don't want to see JB ever retire I think the three year announcement is a great thing.  It allows everyone to prepare mentally and gives everyone a sense of urgency.
