A POY that wasn't projected to go in the NBA first-round... which is the only reason he is back. A POY, with a team (as you say), that very easily could have been a 1 seed, but that lost to a 15 seed in the first round. Some years a returning POY would mean much, much more... next year, not nearly as much.
Before the bashing starts, I am a huge Oscar fan... I love the dude's work ethic... but also realize that he's not the type of player that gets his own buckets within the offense. Just like this year, the difference he brings isn't going to overcome Cal's inability to coach when it's tight.
The absolute best thing about Oscar coming back... will be his senior night!
Whole lot of unproven with no transcendent talent on the roster. Brooks/Grady won us the KU game.
It can be great... but I think most of us felt better going into last season than we do now.
