Haven't given up on this season, but to cheer myself up on how bad we've been defensively this year, I've been looking to the future to see how that might change...

PG - Sears
SG - Griffen
SF - Reid
PF - Nelson
C - Sherrell

6 - Wrightsell
7 - Stevenson
8 - Walters
9 - Dioubate
10 - Cunningham

Possible Transfers: Pringle, Cosby, Parker, Wague

Immediate thoughts: a lot more length in this group. Hopefully, that will help with the defense, along with having an actual rim protector in Sherrell. We'll obviously need another PG (hoping we can get Nolan Traore) and I'd also love to add a big body for situational usage.

Obviously a lot can change with whether these guys use their COVID year and/or other less expected transfers. It's unlikely the offense will be any better, but I certainly see us being a lot better defensively.

What are y'all's thoughts on next year? Any guesses to who stays, who goes, or any transfers we might go after?

Reid should play in SF in the future, but is currently closer to PF. If he shows much improvement in his ball handling this offseason, he could play at SF starting his freshman season.
I think Sherrell will be a good rim protector in the future, but I think the portal needs to bring in an experienced rim protector. This is because although Sherrell can shoot the perimeter, he is more unstable defensively than other rim protectors.

The one with the most potential for development this offseason is Stevenson. I think next season is his real season.
If he hadn't reclassified and stayed in high school, he would have continued to be well-respected and not as underrated as he is now. I think he will be a Starter next season.

I would be very surprised if Nelson stayed in college for one more year. This is because even if he stays in college for one more year, the probability that he, a fifth-year player, will be selected in the NBA draft is not high. Rather, you can target two-way contracts or overseas markets. Because he is a very unique big man, overseas markets will pay him a huge amount of annual salary.
