However you want to slice up his statistical value, D'lo will be our MVP this year (I know, I'm really going out on a limb with that one), and I think he will at least make All BE second team, if not first team.  And if he averages over 5 apg and 16 ppg, I think he's gone after next year.

I think Harrison will be the BE performer of the year. I think he'll score well over 20 ppg. His ability to draw fouls and make free throws towards the end of season really took off. He's going to build on that.

We hear Sanchez scores inside and out, and finishes on the break. If he can put back some of those boards he gets, he can end up scoring good. At 6-8 got nice ht. for a guy who runs the court. Also if age a factor, he's hitting his prime.

I don't think Harrison's scoring increases all that much because I just don't think he gets as many shots as he did last year and will not play as many minutes.

Thankfullly, we have a lot more depth and we will not be forced to have guys playing as many minutes per game.

Disagree.   Think he'll get very close to the 34 a game that Hardy got on a relatively deep (DJ, Paris, the Maliks), veteren 2011 team.  And with our 2nd leading scorer gone, I really don't see that much of a drop in shot attempts.   But I do foresee and INCREASE in shooting %.   I expect him to be well above 40% from the field as a soph.

By the way, Mo took MORE shots per game than D'lo did last year.  560 shot attempts left the team last year to this.   Plus, I don't think GG gets as many shots as last year with then new depth in the post - probably making another 40-50 shots available just to match last years total.  And, I see this team averaging significantly more than last years 66 pts a game - maybe as much as 10 pts or more per game - and that will require an additional 250-350 shots taken than last year.   So that still leaves plenty of shot attempts for the newcomers - perhaps as many as 900-1000 (if the rest of the returnees merely match their own attempts from last season)....

All true. But he will also be a better player from game 1 and as our go to guy in the clutch, can't see him losing too many minutes despite our depth.

Much better interior D (adding Obekpa, Sanchez, Sampson, losing only Mo), much better rebouding (same reason),  Much better post scoring (same reason) far better PG play (Branch and improved Greene), Amir for the entire season this year.   More (better) outside shooting.    Likely no wilting in the 2nd half of games (enuf bodies so that only the stars are playing 30+ minutes).   We'll be able to keep pressure on 40 minutes a game, and with fresh bodies I expect us to push tempo all game long.   5 returning vets are a year better.  And, of course,  I think D'lo is gonna go off big time this year :)
