Replacing two players that as one wku fan, iirc, termed conference poy 1A and 1B, is a huge challenge. If MT makes it back to the NCAA this year, they need to go ahead and erect a statue of CKD and name the court after him.
Educated guess would be Dixon, Potts, Johnson, King, and Walters. Only sure bets are probably Dixon and Potts.
I like the Walters guy. I feel like he goes to sleep in some games but when he's on he's on. If he can get more consistent he can really help us.
What about the Davion Thomas kid? I recall some very high praise from Kermit on his behalf.

In the half-time interview Davis mentioned Gamble as halving had a good off-season. Surprising no mention of either Thomas or the newcomers other than King.
Based on comments made last year I would have thought Thomas would be far-and-away better than an improved Gamble could ever be. I guess we'll find out soon. (of course, the player sitting out has always been the "second coming")

That is a good comparison. I think a lot of it is our system. We need our big men to be able to play inside out, hit jumpers. We haven't really developed a big man in years. Hopefully, Walters can give us 24-27 mins a game without fouling out, then gamble and the big Freshman players can fill in the gap with quality minutes.
