Compare to several years.

We haven't had a PG as good as Ant since Sophomore Phil and he's better than Phil on defense.

We haven't had a bucket getter like Bates since at lease Clarkson/Brown and in some ways he reminds me of Rush...beyond being a lefty.

Gray leaves a lot to be desired, but he's played better post defense than we've seen in long time.

We haven't had this kind of overall length this century. Not just length, but capable length.

When Mitchell is on, you've go to go back to at least what....Bowers?....before you find a 4 that moves like him. Now, we've had better shooters at the 4, but not drivers and playmakers.

There haven't been many guys that can get as hot as Grill when he gets hot. Granted, we have to expect a cold streak from him and I'm worried we may see it coming off the injury.

Shaw & Allen are very versatile defenders and Allen has shown he can make some plays too. Shaw needs the assist, but when utilized to his best ability can get score some bonus points.

Just think about some of our favorite players over the last 10 years and there are questions about them getting minutes on this team.
