I love the makeup and players we have so far. Two strong point guards, a slew of shooting guards who can switch on defense, and several players who can play the four and defend. Add in two big men from the transfer portal who can rebound and defend and this team will compete.

Estime is still a question mark to me since injuries have halted his career. But he won't be missed with a roster like this.

Small, Small, and Smaller. Even adding in two bigs this will be smaller than any roster KK had while here.

Your memory fails you.

And yes, Cacok was the man. You've said it 1,0000 times, we all agree. Now form another argument. The fact is, we didn't have a big team at all. If we can add two more big men we're good to go.

Our current roster will be slightly bigger than his last year.

Way to cherry pick. Yes, the guards may be bigger, But as Mullet pointed out unless we add 2 monsters it will not be bigger than his team on the front line which is where we got murdered last year. and no I DO NOT need a new argument. Cacok accounted for two big men, that absolutely factors in whether you like to acknowledge it or not is irrelevant.

You also left off Ellmore, who was also over 6'7 . They had 4 players over 6'7. this team will have a max of 3. And when you include the Cacok factor, not even close.

Elmore was hurt and never played, so nothing was cherry picked. Add two big men and we will basically have the same roster size. Cacok was one player, not two, so he didn't account for two big men. That's just ignorant.

Regardless, your initial statement that we never had a roster this small is flat out wrong. If we don't land anymore big men, you may be right. But we have two scholarship still available. Let's see what happens.
