Chandler can't transfer again without sitting. So he's pretty much here and accepting whatever role Penny gives him. Likely backup to Deandre and Malcolm. That's not a bad gig, with foul trouble and health issues.
Johnathan is a freshman. He will compete and learn. His scholly is for the future, because we likely have a lot of "wings" leaving after this year.

A recap for the Miserables:
Earl > DJ
Davian = Boogie ?
Chandler > Lance
Johnathan = Nesbitt
Minott > Rand
Camden = Baugh ?
Sam +

Of course, if Cisse leaves, then that is a "minus" compared to Sam. Too, if he leaves, Penny likely goes after another transfer.
If he comes back, then this team is really loaded.
I think the "5" is fine, either way. I would like to see an elite PG, but so would 300 other teams.

Minutes will work out. Penny plays a lot of guys in various positions. If guys don't like how they are used, they will leave. In today's world, they are always going to leave. So why not load up and take your best shot.

CA quoted Penny this week saying he learned over the last few games of the season that the team was more productive playing a shorter bench. Keep that in mind with your analysis along with the fact that there are a total of 200 mins available each game regardless of how they are spread.

There are 13 scholarship players on every team...

If you recruit well you are going to have 4* not getting minutes...I say that is a good problem to have.

I do question who is leaving next year outside of Deandre...Don't we already have 2 committed.

Moussa and Nolley would be my guess...I say the Lawsons stick due to one of them not being able to transfer again without sitting.

Next year's problems are a ways away...But Moussa (if he's back this year) for sure, and Nolley most likely. Then there's Earl, who is projected in the 2022 NBA draft already. Warren possibly. Then there will be a couple of likely casualties from dissatisfied roles.
