We typically think of our high minute, high stat guys as being essential to the team's success and we want those guys to return year over year.   We've had some notable exceptions in recent years, where clearing some of those guys out of the way before their eligibility expired was followed by a year where we seemed to have better team results.

Given what we are looking like this year, if it was entirely up to you, do you want to bring back and build next year's team around Tyus, Oshae and Elijah?    They have all been big numbers guys for us, also pretty inconsistent.   Are they big numbers guys because they are great players, or because they get big minutes and heavy usage.

I am not enamored with any of them at the moment as I don't particularly like the team chemistry, the "effort" or the basketball IQ of this roster.    Could we be better next year with a bigger roster turnover.

I'm thinking of 2003 following up on showing DeShaun Williams the door after the 2002 season.  The 2009-10 team arising out of Paul Harris, Devo and Jonny Flynn all leaving early.

I realize that there is no Melo in our incoming recruiting class, but as a team we don't seem to come close to equaling the sum of the parts that we have on the roster, so maybe we need a different mix of personalities?
