More than anything this team needs a banger. In an ideal world a stretch four but I would simply take a guy who creates space, grabs boards and finishes with athleticism. It would make EVERYTHING else work great.

My second priority is for a three that can create his own shot off the bounce - our guards are just way too short to do that consistently against bigger teams

the Dons? I had to look but their 2 big men are averaging less than 5 points a game. Not sure who you are looking at.

But I would point out that those guys are both foreign students and for Cal in the current era that has upsides (That is because of rules that preclude foreign students for earning $$$ and thus not being eligible for NIL payments).

I would like to place an order for a taller shooting guard who can shoot from beyond the arc and also defend and do the little things to help us win. Somebody in the Klay Thompson mold. Or maybe a player that had the best qualities of both Bell and Petraitis.

As I mentioned in another thread, I gotta go out and get that lottery ticket!

Honestly, we can ask for the moon, but somebody like Sanders-Frison would be very helpful and should be attainable.

Injured Sammy Yeanay and Rytis were the physical PFs that we are missing

Lets hope they dont leave since we paid them.

Rytis plays so hard but i like a guy with more athleticism
