No experience being the guys who are relied upon. 2/3 of the scoring will be gone. Will be interesting.
Auburn went 11 deep, especially during the tournament. The scoring was designed to have Harper and Brown do the scoring, but Purifoy and Wiley were considered to be the two best NBA Prospects before the Pearson issues. Both came on late in the season despite not being part of Bruce's plan. The scoring will come and actually the Defense will be better. Bruce recruits to his system, not to magazines. If Okeke comes back to form by next March, AU can make another deep run.

Maybe, but not at this point many would argue Wiley clogs things up and hurts the free and fast system that worked so well.
Most teams were happy to see shooters go off the floor and Wiley come in.

Bruce recruits talented kids who fit his system. Most, outside of the highly recruited kids like Okeke, take time to develop and learn.
Time will tell, but Auburn lost the core of their identity. Role players will have to become something they haven't been before for Auburn to be a Top 25 level team next year.
