we will be better if Ben is in the 17ppg range. Ben took the most shots in the BE last year and almost 100 more than Josh Hart in 5 less games. Whitehead was the only other BE player with over 500. We should have more balance next year and not require 20+ from one guy.
Still need to stop people though.

Jackson has been working extremely hard during the off year. He's in the gym every night, even now.

Without Ben, we're going to have to play better defense and, certainly, shoot the ball better...I'm hoping he sees the new roster and realizes that he would have an excellent chance to be part of a special season if he returns...

Why? Shouldn't he do what's best for him? if he's a guaranteed first round pick he should leave. Despite the lure of a "special season" The League is the main and only goal of these players. If he can achieve his goal why delay it? So you can enjoy a PC BB season more with him on the court? The selfishness of "fans" always astounds me when it comes to college players. We move them when they wear our colors, but as soon as he they choose different laundry; Chuwku and Fortune come to mind. They become persona non grata. So please spare me the BS that "fans" care about these kids. They only care about them when they're currently playing. If Ben Bentil can get paid to play basketball in the NBA NEXT YEAR. Then God Bless Him.

..the quality of the roster is questionable right now. 2 of Jackson, Holt, Diallo need to be very good imo.

Then God Bless Him. Is this your Felger & Mazz impersonation? I don't see anyplace where a) conn (or other posters) has said if Ben's a 1st round pick he should come back to PC or b) people insist they care about the kids ahead of the actual program. They don't. And as for players bolting the program, damn straight some of us are gonna see them as "traitors", or at the very least committmentless - that's sports! Or are you gonna get soft on me and say they're "kids" and "amateurs" and that I shouldn't see them like professional free agents? Bull, I lost those glasses long ago. Bottom line: you get high minutes here (Fortune, Coleman) or the certainty of high minutes (Chukwu) and bolt in May then, yeah, you're a "traitor" to me. As for Ben: if he can be assured a top-20 spot he HAS to go. If the feeling is 25-30 he has to be very careful (see all my Ledo posts on this....or don't). If he's a 2nd rounder I think he should come back but if making $200K in China next year is better than school to him, I get that too. Lastly, what's best for me is if Ben comes back, no matter where he's projected. But last time I checked my last name isn't Bentil so I don't have much of a say on that I suppose. Haha.

We will have many "surprises" this season - How can we not?
Lots of unknowns about this team as we hope they come together and surprise everyone - this is a PC stealth team here, right?

I think our splendid KORE Mod has hit the nail on the head. We don't have a bona fide star on the squad although we hope Rodney is one.
"Surprises" will be coming in bunches for us fans. Let me say that the players truly will be earning or forfeiting their PT this year.
