Who does Bazz say will be the hardest player to replace?

It's very hard to replace the grease man on a team, especially one with outside shooting ability. He had size to rebound consistently, could handle the ball if needed, could make free throws, box out inside if need be, and had a solid outside shot. Those kind of guys don't come along very often.

On the flip side, you can replace Shabazz and DD's position. Now, can you replace Shabazz and DD's abilities and talent profile specifically? Much, much harder. But finding a guy who can effectively play the point and a wing forward is easier than finding someone who can effectively play the positions Niels did.

I hear what your saying but our PG position will drop off next year (no dis-respect to Boat).
Hopefully we won't need need to fill all the gaps NG filled. Won't need someone to play the 3, 4 and, occasional 5 next year because our centers and powers forwards will rebound

You're right, the PG will probably fall off, my point was that finding someone that can play the 1 is a lot different than finding someone who plays Giffey's position since it's so undefined.

Giff was so important. Statistically the most accurate shooter in the country, and a versatile defender ; which included rebounding prowess. Also a tough

Seriously how can you not love this team? The battle tested superstar(Shabazz), heart of a lion(boat), great glue guys(giffey,kroma,tsam,brima), Hungary frosh( all 3), teammates who understood their smaller roles(oleander, tolks). And a coach with something to prove.

LOVE THIS TEAM!!!
