re: How much improvement can Anderson get out of Rosburg and Post?

But we don't have to pretend that Rosburg is going to turn into Kevin McHale over the summer.

No, but he (and Post) could turn into an Alex Oriakhi or Ricardo Ratliffe over the summer. Role players who play good defense, rebound, and can score when they get the ball in the right spots.

Give them a decent point guard and an offensive system where they are more than screen-setting afterthoughts and good things can happen.

Rosburg will continue to improve but does not have much of a ceiling. Ideally would like to see him coming off the bench. Post didn't start playing BBall until the 8th grade and has had knee problems which has hindered his progress. His knee problems were taken care of with his last surgery 3+- years ago. His Juco numbers were nothing to write home about. He has athletic ability, he just hasn't played a lot of basketball. As someone stated if the game starts to slow down for him ( another way of saying he reacts instead of thinks) he can contribute. The player I am looking to take a big step forward is Jones. He showed last year that he can be a force on the boards and contribute with some inside scoring. He made freshman mistakes and often got into foul trouble. With a year of experience under his belt he should see substantially more PT. How well he plays on defensive will determine his PT.
