Not so fast.  If we look at next year the way JB coached this year (e.g., Roberson's "not ready" to contribute), next year looks a bit thin:

Grant -- assuming he comes back would start and hopefully improve his 3-pt shooting.
Rak -- would share 5 time with DC2, who it turn is an unknown factor in just about every area of the game.
Roberson -- If he hasn't learned the system well enough to play this year, his evolution will be slow, barring a miracle.
Cooney -- should be much improved and a more reliable shooter.
Ennis -- again, assuming he comes back, would be a solid starter and contributor.

But:

The bench will consist of freshmen or untried players who may take time to develop to the level JB demands.  True, I'm leaving out [S]G[/S] because I still don't know what he contributes other than defense and a fill-in PG or SG that doesn't S much.  But if Grant and/or Ennis [U]don't[/U] come back, we're not only thin but inexperienced as well.  McCullough is supposed to be a beast, but so was Roberson.  It's all about climbing the learning curve, and JB's curve is steep.  In sum, don't start buying 2015 Final Four tickets yet.  A lot of stuff needs to happen over the summer and on the court next October.-VBOF
