BJ and Ron aren't ready to be big offensive contributors this season.    The fact that we've lost players that have pushed them further up the rotation isn't going to suddenly make them ready.    For those saying we shouldn't have to take guys that are multiple year projects...really??

When JB recruited these classes, I think his expectation would have been to have a far different rotation than what we have now.   As late as this time last season (too late to do much about bringing in guys for this season) he was probably anticipating having the following guys available:

PG -   Ennis   So.
      SG -   Cooney RSJr
      Sf   -   Grant   Jr.
      PF  -   McCullough Fr.
      C    -   Rak  Sr.

Bench -  MGB   RS Jr.
                      Roberson (So.)
                      Joseph (Fr.)
                      Coleman (not sure how he figured in as he's been injured for a while)

At the time they were recruited that puts BJ, Patterson and Chino pretty far down the bench.   How many guys that were ready to step in and play do you think we should have been able to get to come here to sit and not play minutes.    It is hard to plan in advance for unexpected player losses.    This isn't the NBA where you can make a last minute trade or sign a free agent.
