Brian Butch???

Are we not resigning gray? Haven't heard anything about him

If he's replacing anybody it'd be Jason Smith.

From Draft Express in 2007

Butch cannot be considered a great prospect at this point outside of his size and perimeter stroke, but with added responsibility could come a breakout year. Coming off of an elbow injury, Butch has most certainly been working on expanding his game, and Coach Ryan must utilize his versatile big better in the absence of Taylor and Tucker. Butch has a lot of work to do before being considered a draftable prospect, but 6’11 jump shooters with the physical characteristics and past resume of Butch are always on the radar.

He's probably more of a camp body than a projected replacement though. As much as we'd like Dell to pull a few DLeague rabbits out of the hat, there isn't much precedent for career DLeaguers to all of a sudden become legit NBAers.
