I doubt it but hope you’re right. We’re gonna miss KBW more than anyone.


Agreed, we still don’t have a rim protector. We’ll see what happens with the finalization of the roster, but it’s hard for me right now to say the team will be as good, let alone better.

Watford basically replaces Reid, and could be better than Reid. We have plenty of guard depth, so it’s hard to say how much the loss of Waters will impact us. Let’s hope guys like Williams, Days, Taylor, and Smart all make significant jumps in their second years on campus.

If Smart plays like he did vs Tennessee as consistently as possible we’ll be fine. Will miss Tre’s vision and clutch tho.

I think so too. Waters is an amazing athlete but never truly had consistent control. Naz also had a ton of maturing to do. IMO, with experience returning & Watford, we’ll be even better.

Either we drastically improve our 3pt shooting or find a solid rim protector.


YES to both. We NEED another big body that can protect the rim and clean the glass. Someone who can match up against quality 5's that we might see throughout the season. Outside shooting in general must also improve. Whether it be from behind the arc, or those intermediate 15 ft jumpers. We need to be able to knock them down more consistently.

As good as those two players were they both had high turnover ratios and made me nervous as a cat down low. Never throughout the year saw Naz get comfortable putting the ball on the floor and dribbling down low. I for one believe he is in for a rude awakening unless he miraculously figures it out.
