He's a year older and was playing quite well when he played late in the season. Very interested to see how he does next year. Will he still insist on spending all summer in Spain? And will his endurance reach the point where he can actually play long minutes (25 or more a game) consistently? If he winds up going somewhere where he stays all summer to work with the staff and the team and if he puts in the work to stay longer on the court then I agree, it will be a significant loss. And I wait to be convinced Mr Booker will fill the role we need filled on our new Donovan Dent team with a number of solid shooters on the team. But overall, I agree with you about next year.
Bilodeau's defense improved greatly last year as the year went along - from very poor to decent by season's end. Dailey needs to put in the work and I expect he will. But Dent is a huge upgrade for us and I think Jameson may well be an upgrade over Kyle. Brown we have to see - wondering about his defense - hard to lose Kobe Johnson. But with all our returning players a year old we should be a better team than last year
