What is really needed is a little less repetition between the sets of players ...

McLeod, Hima, Patterson, and Carey give you height, and a little bit of scoring, and 
some D, but not enough to be a big factor, and little difference between them.

Copeland, Mintz, and Starling, and possibly Cuffe and Westry, you have five guys, all
about the same size, with about the same skillsets: great driving, inconsistent shooting, and
a mixture of other skills like rebounding, D, and passing.

They REALLY need 1) a guy to get consistent from the mid range so that there's something to look
at as a kick to after a drive, and 2) a dog on the glass to reb double digits.  if asking, one of the 
centers to do that, plus a couple blocks per, and not in the "per 40 min" stats, actual game 
stats.  Tailor made for Benny, but, he's not been the type of dog they need.

And yes, they need and could've used Edwards to stay. With Joe ... ugh. Do they need a shooter
who can make shots, yes. Do they need a "shooting guard" with a career 36% FG and a penchant
for really bad shots?  No.  JB botched those teams with his mins per game choices and roster 
construction, then destruction.  One of Joe and Buddy, and then one of Buddy or Junior, would 
have been adequate.  Not both, and then not all three.  Just too repetitive skill-wise.
