Food for thought. When we are purportedly in the bottom third of dollars
spent in the ACC procuring talent for our roster, we cannot “afford” to pay one of our better players to sit out injured. When Johnson, clearly our best and most versatile defense player was unable to play, we lost 3-4 games we likely would have won. Outside of Hammond or Hansberry, Johnson was the one guy we could not lose. Everyone has injuries, but at least two thirds of our league has layered depth- aka Duke, UNC, Louisville, UVA. Then last night, we play without Hansberry. In my view it is hard to judge this season without considering that our team seldom had the “best team” on the floor. Think a healthy Hansberry makes a difference last night? It is almost inconceivable that we have this happen year after year, but this year in particular. Even now, healthy, we have an NCAA team. But they don’t get to play.

Is it not true that the lower you are in money the less pro active you can
