Until Swider proves to be better than Griffin I think it’s fair to call them a wash.
From the defensive side I think we’re better at center.
Agreed on Buddy, he should do better than last year with more shooters on the floor.
I hope Benny is as good as advertised, but I’m not confident he’s seeing 25+ minutes a game come ACC time.
I didn’t forget about Symir, just don’t think he is a big enough difference maker.
We are bigger, but a lot slower, our zone isn’t going to be moving as fast as it has in the past, Joe and Buddy got a lot of help from the forwards last year, don’t think they get that this year. Every year there is a lot of turnover in player personnel our defense suffers, zero doubt it doesn’t this year.
If we’re good, I’ll eat my crow and enjoy the season, I just don’t see it.
