Coach Mick Cronin has consistently been able to win without a 20 ppg star, and next year’s roster has plenty of depth to win without one. Although Perry has a great chance to be a breakout lead guard, with Dent gone.
Replacing Bilodeau in the frontcourt will be up to Jovic, who showed flashes as a freshman at Auburn and could be another breakout candidate to watch. Outside of Dailey and Booker, it’ll be a younger team in Los Angeles, but their floor should be very high going into next year.
