Assuming 2 spots available … 3 if JD leaves:
In the order of importance …
-
Jayden Gardner
Next year’s roster is shaping up nicely, but scoring in the post is still a question mark until we see what K. Johnson and A. Mawein (or a beefed up C. Vanover) are capable of in the SEC … if not Gardner, Christian Bishop might be a good backup plan if he doesn’t choose Kansas … Gardner should be a nice replacement for Justin Smith -
Stanley Umude
Another big guard / small forward type … nice complement to A. Toney and C. Moore on the wing with Devo, KK, CLykes and JD as primary ball handlers … plus 3pt % shooter with a decent handle -
Michael Flowers (if JD leaves)
If JD goes pro, it opens the door for another ball handler / 3pt shooter … Flowers was Sunbelt Newcomer of the Year and First Team All Sunbelt at South Alabama … averaged 21ppg with a 39% 3pt avg and 82% FT avg
Thoughts?
