The net effect of losing Isom

We lost an excellent shooter, and that always hurts. We also lost a unique shooter in that he is 6-9, so that hurts doubly, because his size had to have caused opposing teams problems. His absence on defense will hurt, especially if he is not replaced by someone with size and experience. So, we will feel Mareik's absence.

The practical effect of his leaving will be more minutes for some of the other players, especially those who play the 3 and 4 positions. So, look for Stetson, Maurius and Jalen to pick up a few minutes per game. Possibly Kemy as a shooter. The good news is that we are fairly deep and experienced at the positions Mareik would have played, so that should allow us to adapt. It hurts, but it should not be fatal.
