Losing Bamba doesn't sting at all for me. I fully believe that our center position will be fine without Bamba. Bamba is good, especially on the defensive end, but with out length at the other positions, I think his impact would have been minimal. The thing is, the loss has to be judged as the difference between him and the alternatives. I believe the alternatives will have a similar impact, but maybe in a different way.
Watch Cal work his magic and get Richards drafted before Bamba. Seems like a long shot right now, I know. Just like in 2014-15 when Okafor started the season as a "lock" for the number 1 pick. We all know how that story ended.
