On paper, sure...
I think the ACCT Championship team I had similar regard for, but they took longer to come into their own. Absolutely were smoking hot their last 20 games though, which is whay was expected We'll see if this team is able to get out of the gate faster

That 2018-19 team was loaded!
Walker, Hill, Robinson and blachshear. Wow. Outlaw and Radford. I’m not sure who on this years team would start or on that team.

Loaded, yes, but top loaded with little depth and one guy bigger than 6-6.

Avdalas and Lawal would absolutely start on that team
This team is much deeper

Doing a 1 to 1 comparison with that team…
I think Hansbury will be a wash with Blackshear Combo of Lawal and pick a wing will be as good as Outlaw and Hill combo Neo is somewhere between NAW and Robinson So you are left with a drop off from the remaining of NAW or JRob to a remaining wing or one for this year. Big drop off but maybe we make that up with an extreme advantage in depth? Obviously different capabilities in that the 18/19 team was better shooters from deep but this year is a big improvement in rebounding. I’m likely out on a limb with a few of my comparisons but let me know what you think.
