I think a lot of posters are freaking out about losing players before we know what the full roster will be.

I think people have been seduced by the notion that we need to be 10-11 deep, which isn't necessarily true.  All a strong team needs is 8 or so deep; with the right mix of skills.  Last season everybody was so in love with our depth "mirage".  We really only had about 7 impactful players and yet we were ranked almost all year.

I feel like a team that goes 10-11 deep is really saying that they don't have 7 really good players.  Kind of like a football team with two quarterbacks not really having a starting quarterback.

Last season's roster wasn't totally complimentary (i.e. the Sanogo/Whaley dilemma), had difficulty in the half court set, would only win if long range shots were falling, etc.

The roster re-configuration that isn't quite done yet may actually allow us to improve in-season AND conference results.

Stay calm and carry on.
