I am hoping we get a couple of veterans back, but I don't think we will. All Frehmen next season. Will be a tough season, especially early in the season. Could make a nice run in the tourney. I figure we have quite a few back the next season (Alexander, Vanderbilt, maybe Green, Washington, and Richards). Cal makes another title push in 2018-19 with those guys plus 2-3 Freshmen studs.
 
If UK lands Bamba, then I agree with TevWool.

C Bamba (SKJ or Richardson if Bamba goes elsewhere)

I believe that playing Bamba and Richardson together for extended minutes will make for a bad looking offense, and I don't think it will provide better defense either..
 
Bamba, Knox, Green, Vanderbilt, Washington, Diallo. I know that no one thinks we will get Knox, but I still do.
 
PG: Briscoe (stays; until he can shoot, there is not a market for him)
2G: Diallo
SF: Vanderbilt
PF: Adebayo (stays; deep draft this year, shallow next year. Pick goes way up).
C: Bamba

B1: Washington

B5: Killeya-Jones


Gabriel: Gone, needs money--now.
Humphries: Gone PT evaporates and there's money overseas.

I like this but I'm not sure Briscoe and Bam both come back. Maybe, who knows. I do think Gabriel comes back. Everyone knows his family needs money but the only money he can provide for them right now is 3rd shift at McDonalds, and that ain't going very far. I hope Hump comes back. He, along with Bamba, Bam, and SKJ would make a hell of a rotation at the 4 and 5 spots.

On the bench, I'd switch Richards and SKJ (if no Hump). With Hump, Mr. Richards plays the role of SKJ last year.
