I don't understand the sentiment of wanting RJ to go, especially if it's simply to start fresh. The guy is a high volume 40% 3 point shooter with a ton of experience. His game is perfect for college.
Sure, sometimes his style can bite you, like it did in the S16, but he was a huge part of us being a top 4 team this season.
We'd be undersized, and rebounding plus interior defense is definitely looking like a concern right now, but a lineup of
EC
RJ
Jackson
Tyson (hopefully)
Washington
Seems pretty damn good. If EC can improve his shooting at all, then we'd have shooters at spots 1-5. We'd put up 90 points a game.
Then hopefully Seth, Powell, Brown, Withers, maybe High if he can work things out, and then whoever else we can get in the portal, to fill it out.
Including RJ, we only have 8 guys on the projected 24-25 roster right now.
He knew he was about to buy a bunch of players out of the portal to surround Dickinson. He also knew he had no chance to do anything last season. Makes sense.
