Demin — put more pressure on the rim than anyone on our team last season (including Atiki — who was too offensively limited to challenge that claim).

SJ & Jax were big loses, but even if you count Dawson as a holdover talent, I think Demin & Mag are better than SJ & Jax.

And with Demin's ability as facilitator factored, I think Keba is an overall upgrade on Noah & Khalfia — particularly when Koz is added to the lineup. I do believe if Catchings doesn't sign with us than Koz will end up a comparably impactful player to Noah last season. Though it might take till Februrary before we see that level of play from him.

And of course we've got a talented, scoring backup PG option in Crawford this season, too.
