[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 233258, member: 2299"] The talent discrepancy isn't as big as you make it imo. In the post I'll take Lammers over either Jacobs and Mitchell and while raw talent might favor last years team, the issue is that last year there was far too much overlap between the 4 and 5 spots. It clogged the paint and limited everyone's effectiveness. Next year we should have a 4 spot that will be a bigger threat from 3 point range and the opening of the court should offset the slight dip in talent. We're not talking about replacing Lawal and Favors here. Smith was good at one part of the game. Shooting. Otherwise he was a below average player and even on offense he wasn't an overly efficient scorer. I expect Jackson to be a better all around player next year, even if there is a dip in offensive production. PG trades Jorgenson for Moore. Tie at worst. Probably upgrade. The big loss in talent is at SF where we basically replace Hunt with a freshman Matthews. Losing his playmaking ability, all around contribution, and experience are huge. But if we could put him on next year's team I would see an NIT birth as being a very reasonable prediction. As it stands we are basically relying on both Moore and Matthews to preform at a level well higher than is reasonable to expect in order to replace what we lost in Hunt. [/QUOTE]
