Ultimately better, yes. If we can't get better talent than last year's 14-19 team, that would be a problem.

My goal (and everyone's this year) should be getting into the tourney. Not a top 4 seed...just making the tourney...

So with that goal in mind...
Loved keeping Freeman. Loved George.
JJ is what he is, hopefully improves with better talent around him.
Kingz can shoot and you need a shooter in 2005 College Basketball.
Freshman are freshman, whatever we get from them will be good.

Center is a MAJOR question mark whether people here want to admit it or not. The Ga Tech kid isn't a tourney team level rotation player, imo, so basically you have to hope UCLA kid can return from injury and perform at a level he's never done before. I'm on board with prioritizing PG over Center though, so is what it is, but with the reality of the situation in mind, you are going to need to get another proven college level scorer/defender, which I believe Deng is.

If the money doesn't work, fine, then we need someone else at that level.

If we don't, tourney hopes will come down to if the freshman can play at a high enough level, which doesn't feel like a great bet in the current era.
