Last year's team was more talented and yet people expect more from this one...for one reason, Simmons


You sure about that?

We also gained Victor, Blakeney & Sampson; only lost Martin & Mickey. Seems like we are more talent this year than last if you only subtract Martin, Mickey and Odo while adding Simmons, Victor, Blakeney & Sampson. Certainly more depth. Plus you have ER III, Malone, Quarterman, Patterson, Epps, Bridgewater, Gray & Hornsby all with an extra year in the system.

Interesting comparison. If Hornsby and Victor were available all year we might be talking an essentially equal team.

In my opinion, Mickey and Martin were underated.

lets get to the crux. all the this guy/that guy stuff is great but.....

last year we had rim protectors........this year we dont. pre conference Simmons was our post presence bc victor wasnt eligible. This team was sparsely talented pre conference.

Mickey was/is the difference. he altered half of the shots in the paint

perhaps I was being shortsighted and should have said the the combo of talent/health/balance last season is >>> this season

One advantage I see is that Keith Hornsby was healthy last season, he is probably going to end this season with about 200 points less than last season. I also do not think quarterman improved to that significant of a degree from last season to this season.

Blakeney is a trump card though,Wish it wouldn't have taken him half a season to begin to realize that talent and contribute to a significant degree


Simmons
Quarterman
Hornsby
Blakeney
Victor

Mickey
Martin
Hornsby
Patterson
Quarterman

I think I would take the combo of Hornsby/Martin/Mickey last season over any 3 player combo you can make from this season's team
