logical if not inevitable. I'm looking, however, at the prospects UCLA faces at the five with Mara versus Booker. It certainly was a loss to lose Mara but the prospects with him were still iffy. Perhaps the prospects with Booker are better in terms of team building and getting all the working parts more in concert. That consideration is not taking into account whether it is ultimately Bilodeau at the five which could indeed be the outcome as you've stated. On paper at least Booker might be a better fit than Mara with this upcoming team and how it stands at present.
