That's why I don't think we need a major roster overhaul next year.

Catchings for one year versus Saunders for four?

We're only a fraction of the season in. Catchings & Keita were the only guys that looked unstoppable

Yep, I think Pope has a really good idea of what he needs to be successful.

We shall see

^^Exactly^^ I was going to say the exact same thing about experienced vs not

No doubt the real secret sauce in college ball is finding guys that are good but not super interesting to NBA circles

Furphy is my poster child for a one-and-done that isn't worth it
