Polley clearly got stronger.  He also turned in some big defensive performances later in the year.  I expect he will improve next year.  Junior year is often a big leap for guys like him. He shoots 40% from 3. He's a nice player to have on the bench.  Whaley is the guy who is more like Roscoe.  Similar build, skill set and athleticism.

I look at the team last year and the year before and so many guys who are good at some things, but who aren't complete players, were forced to play major minutes, often out of position.

Polley: good shooter for a 4, ok defense on perimeter players, decent handle for a 4.  Lacks size, toughness and interior scoring ability.  Doesn't rebound well.
Vital: Good spot up shooter, ok defender, good FT shooter, great rebounder for his size.  Tough, hard nosed player.  Lacks in passing, ball handling and dribble penetration you want from a starting SG.  Forced to play SF due to roster deficiencies.
Larrier: great jump shooter, very good athlete.  Forced to play PF where he had none of the tools, size, strength, rebounding to be effective.
