I think for sure returners are

Big Z
Richmond
Knox

Would love for Thiero, but he may have played his way out of here, Just curious to here what everyone thinks.

It a new Z has emerged who drops 25 a night with 5 blocks and 5 boards he will play his way out of here. Dude has been on a tear the last two games.

I just don't think his D is there yet. They would eat him alive if he leaves now. Plus that 3 point shot will be a lot more contested at the next level. He needs another year.

Z
Wagner
Richmond
Knox

Two 5* coming in. Cal needs to bring in a dominate center, a shut down forward, and a couple of shooters from the portal,

I wish. It could happen but it’s very far from for sure. He’s the best player on the team at this point IMO

Thiero would like to have a word. Z is not ready for guarding NBA bigs by a long shot. Thiero has abilities that can't be taught. Both have work to do though.

I think it’s much easier to teach Z what he needs than to teach Thiero what he needs. I don’t think Thiero would be a threat to score at all in the NBA right now. What Z is doing on offense is plug and play in the NBA

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Just think Z would get torched on D.

Thiero has all the makings of a Charles Oakley, but he's more athletic. I do get what your saying though. Everyone just stands around and lobs 3s these days so who knows.

I think the only ones gone for sure are Boogie, Nelly, Adioo, and Watkins (who never plays).

Cal can sell Z and Thiero on development but they may both be playing themselves up the draft board. Not sure DJ has enough draft value yet. TB .... man IDK..... he's kind of finding a role but you get the sense he and Cal are kind of a forced marriage.
Karter and Billy could both make big jumps with a good off-season.

Would love to see Boogie come back after a development year but I'm sure the money will probably lure him away.

I would say...

Richmond
Knox
Thiero
Big Z

Wagner would be a good one to return, but depends on if he cares about spending a lot of time in the G league and also what the money here compares to that of playing in a developmental league.

Wagner had a business decision to make. We’re bringing in the #1 PG in the nation. He could see his minutes significantly cut.

That won't matter. He won't have his minutes cut. When Boogie was starting, he was still on the floor as well.

Knox has emerged at the 3 and I don’t see him going back to the bench. I guess it depends on how good acuff and Thomas are.

Really not sure whose minutes boogie would get if he came back now.
