I think having a 6 foot guy, instead of another 6'5 guy in the lineup probably cancels out the improvement in turnovers we will get from Jones. The team was already undersized, now it is really undersized.
Also I don't see how Grayson is going to get more than 25 minutes a game which also is not a good thing.
Yes, Bud could help us by getting us to shoot more 3's and increase pace - but that alone is not going to be enough to compensate for our lack of defense, rebounding, and lack of size. I mean it might mean we win 55 regular season games instead of 49 - but come the playoffs I don't see how the results are any different than last year because the team has the same flaws.
I don't want to be negative. I want to have hope - I just don't see why I should.
