I'm at work, so I haven't read through this thread, but here's my take:

PG- Joesph will be much improved.  If anything, the kid is an incredibly hard worker.  He has talent; he was just thrust into a considerably larger role than anticipated.  Howard probably won't get much run, so Joseph is going to be our guy and I have faith.  If Howard is really far from being ready, Patterson is not a bad option at all as a backup.

SG- Cooney is currently a top 20 SG in college ball.  Even if he doesn't improve, he'll be giving us everything we need.  Richardson won't set the world on fire, but he's still an elite guard coming out of high school.  I expect 10-15 minutes of really solid play off the bench from him, which we don't have at all right now.

I could split hairs between SF and PF, but there's no real difference.  This is where our stregth will be, where we're weak this year.  Gbinije will put up a lot more shots than he is currently, which is a good thing in my opinion.  McCullough will be no worse than he was this season and we're already seeing how big the impact of not having him is.  Roberson will be a monster as either a starter or a guy getting 20+ minutes off the bench.  Diagne is the real deal and everything about his game screams college ready as long as he learns the defensive rotations.

C- This is obviously the weak spot.  Coleman was more productive on a per minute basis than he gets credit for, but it's tough to rely on his knees to hold up.  Obokoh can take up space, but I don't know if he'll do much else.  The strength at this position really comes down to Thomas Bryant.  If we land him, we're a top 10 team all season, no question.
