Turnover may be a good thing

We already have lost three players from this year's roster, including two of our top four scorers. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It is not any one player who counts, but the team. Will the team be  better without the departing players? very possibly so.

Each coach has his own style and his own program. Really hard-nosed coaches don't mind a player who takes a bare-knuckle approach, because that is their style. Other coaches are gentler in their demeanor, and need players who are coachable and who will listen and who are not constant off-court problems. I don't know what went on in the locker room this year, but even with our injury issues, this team badly under-achieved; and that usually is a sign of off-court problems. Walker does not appear to be an in-your-face style coach, so he is going to need players who respond to that style.
