Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

JOJ's last season with the Gophers will always be a mystery to me. Maybe he's just not that good.

Obviously he has talent and we saw multiple displays of that. At times, he could be a very good scorer and offensive rebounder. I don't know why he didn't work out here. I would guess that he didn't play a complete game often enough, or wasn't focused enough, or didn't take coaching well but that's only speculation. Definitely could have used another talented player in the rotation in the latter part of the season.

He will probably play 8 guys on regular basis. Maybe 9 and 10 depending on game situation and foul trouble. How do you keep that many guys happy? The answer is you don't. But I guess with this player movement that happens, they know what they are signing up for. Big year for Coach Ben, if things fall apart sayonara.

Players are kept happy by contributing in their way independent of minutes and winning.
