We also don't have SK but we might have a couple of guys who can help replicate what he did.

The only other team I can remember that seemed complete in terms of scoring versatility was in Gates and Cash Sr year but we didn't have the quality depth. It probably is no coincidence that was our sweet 16 year.
Parker was 5th on that team at 9.4 ppg and 4 of our scorers were 6'4" or under. This year we will have 4 starters at 6'5" or taller. IMO much more talented as well 1-5.
In SK's senior year we had 2 guys above 7.5ppg. Last year we had 6. This year we should have 5 in double figures. We may or may not have the SK type that can take over a game and we may not have defensive stoppers in the starting lineup like Jackson and Rubles. But Rubles was 3rd on his team in scoring at 7.3ppg. We may have players on the bench who can do some of the things that Jackson and Rubles could (switching)...but they will be coming off the bench this year. It will be a nice compliment to our scorers instead of in the starting lineup.
