Interesting on 247 Sports, they have Cade Tyson tied at .91 with Chansey Willis JR for the 2nd highest rated transfer after Bobby Durkin.
I also like that Niko sees what we see in that we needed at least 1 more big and he got Turner. Than we all noticed we had one lock down shooter in Durkin, and a couple others with decent numbers from 3 in Asuma and Reynolds, and we needed more. He signs Tyson and Stephens! Two shooters.
Ben's roster always felt incomplete, and 1 injury away from disaster.
21-22 team had zero depth.
22-23 team was young and had potential, but was bad from 3 and Battle and Garcia had trouble playing together (defense and rebounding).
23-24 Easily the best roster; Subtract Battle and add a real SF in Christie 6-6. Helps to have a big sf when your pg is maybe 6' and Mitchell was 6-2. at SG.
24-25 Had a ton of 6-2/6-3 guards. thank God SF Femi a 6-6 athlete was there to help on defense and rebounding. End of year Asuma and F. Mitchell were the 2nd best guard and post respectively. Yet Ben had them both off the bench. End of season F. Mitchell's physical play was the perfect compliment to Garcia's finesse. Fox would be a fireplug off the bench. Maybe you cant bench a 26 year old! lol
Anyway, Niko's roster looks right. Yes almost all are mid majors and maybe only 60-70% can handle this level. We have quickness at guard, we have shooters, we have two physical post players. We have solid role guys like JCJ. We have some potential on defense as well: Willis, Asuma, Reynolds, and Omot all could be above average. We have 4 guys 230 or more who can set a solid pick! That hasn't been the case since Tubby's teams.
