Of course. Same for all of them. Hall injured early. Stewart filled in. Khalifa
injured all season. Fous hamstring. Atiki broken hand. Knell midseason. Several got the flu. Adams. Baker. TT. Waterman got a concussion or two, iirc.
Our depth absorbed all of that.

So with how the team sits right now, we’re essentially missing 3 players from

Now factor in a healthy Dawson Baker.

Keep forgetting about him. I just have no idea how good he is or isn’t since

Healthy Baker comes close to matching Jax. The question is if he'll be 100%

Are we assuming hall is coming back? Or did I miss an announcement?

I think you undersell SJ. Consistent top rebounder & sometime volume scorer.

And excellent defender on the ring and in the paint

Yeah. SJ is going to be really difficult to replace

SJ was critical last year but Baker new mins and Richie expanded helps fill loss

Those guys replace his scoring but he was the best rebounder on the team

There are also some intangible stuff that SJ was great at like deflections and

OP forgot Dawson Baker. He will offset SJ and there is still a very good chance

I hope he can, but no promises he can return to what he was pre-injury

I don’t see the similarity in DB and SJ’s games. I guess they both can shoot.

Not exactly the point, but, Baker supposedly can create better

I will be surprised if Koz or Davis average over 12 minutes a game.

We don’t need that many minutes from them and especially in non conference

Wow that feels like a big stretch to FR matching SJ and AK. In the Big 12?

Khalifa as a facilitator will be hard to replace.

You vastly underrate SJ and Khalifa.
