I think you must win or break even on the boards to contend for championships. I wonder where the boards will come from? Looks like the best rebounders may be on the bench. I hope it works out.

Willie Jackson will be sorelry missed on the boards. He had a way of always being in the right position to grab the rebound.

I'm honestly mixed on Willie. Yes, he was a great defensive rebounder and could will a couple offensive muscle boards here and there when you needed it. At the same time he had concrete feet on defense most of the time and was an inconsistent finisher. Actually, his mid range game was a real strength and overlooked. I can't say how Millner will stack up as a replacement, although he brings a similar good mid range game and toughness, but I think AJ and Acunzo will fill some of Willie's minutes with more offensive flow.
