This will be a much different team than last year&#039;s team or the previous one. No three point gunner at the off-guard to light up the scoreboard, but more versatility and beef down low, plus a young top 5 lottery pick at the SF position. No Zakai at the point, but a bigger one in Gillespie who can score. A lot of potential, but a lot of unknown quantities. My biggest...<br />

Makes me actually look forward to next season, even though we&#039;re losing the guy who transformed the team this year. <br />

So we&#039;re losing an all-American, which is bad. And we&#039;re losing a couple gritty veterans on the wings. But everybody else is back. <br />
