Schwartz, Frazier, Mbaye, Gadsden . . .

A bunch of 3/4 guys.

We lack quality at the 1, a backup for Cooper, and a quality backup for Oduro. All of those are needs over another 4.
Mbaye is more of a 5, Schwartz, Frazier and Gadsden each more of a 3 ... can Schwartz play the 4, I suppose, but I don’t think this coach will be as keen as his predecessor was on forcing square pegs into round holes.

Ideally we flip one of the PGs for a 4 — still leaving us with 3 PGs — and use the last currently open scholarship on a SG to pair with Cooper. Then the roster would be as close as possible to perfect structurally

If you say so. I'd prefer that Miller or Kolek come back. If not, I'd rather see another scoring guard taken with the last scholarship. Someone that can play the 2 to give us some insurance there.

We've all seen this magic height roster before.

Ideally, absolutely.. I don't think we can expect a perfect roster though. Schwartz has plenty of size to play the 4, but at some point it's okay to expect Henry/Mbaye/Gadsden/Gaines to produce from the 4 spot.

We definitely need another 2 but it’s not gonna be Kolek. The staff would not be filling up the roster now if they hadn’t been informed he’s not coming back ... most likely same goes for Miller. None of this is a guess for the coaches even though it all happens out of our view

That's fine. I'm sure they are gone. But it is what I'd "prefer", and I'd feel like a jerk if I didn't say it and leave room to be happy about them coming back.

In short order our roster already looks very different, I don’t think KE will head into next season with our current PG situation. He probably has some players in mind and it wouldn’t be a stretch to think the only guy from last year in our starting 5 is Oduro.

Yes, I'm not really worried about PG. In KE I trust!

If Miller isn’t coming back we do still need a 4 unless Schwartz is gonna be playing there. I don’t think Malik will be ready to start by next season
From the tape I’ve seen of Schwartz I see him as more of a replacement for Javon. He’s a 2 or 3, can’t see him playing the 4.

Isn't it possible that Gray could wind up as a backup at both the 1 and 2? He's got the size. His high school coach seems to think he can play off the ball.
