@patoh3 I assume the difference is that Hunter is at least going to see what his options are but is likely coming back because he doesn’t expect those options to beat returning.
If Elmarko stays and makes some strides, we will have someone who can break down the defense off the dribble and that is the main thing this team is currently missing.
McDowell has also shown promise and could be a solid rotation piece next year.
Only thing missing would be a starting level shooter and if that is his sole focus of the transfer portal, I would think Bill could land someone that can contribute. (No way we miss on this type of player two year in a row right??)
A 8 man rotation of Harris, Elmark, McDowell, Transfer shooter, Furphy, KJ, Hunter, and Flory seems pretty exciting to me. Now if Furphy isn’t back, I am less optimistic.
