Replacing the points has to be an orderly process

With Rayjon Tucker and Deondre Burns we lost 30.3 points per game. That is a lot of offensive firepower to replace. Two 15-point players (averaged) would be a hit to any program. What I am afraid will happen is that Nowell is going to try to be the next Tucker. Hopefully not, but it would not be the first time that sort of thing has happened. DW is going to have to make SURE that the distribution of points is an orderly process. It is not as though we do not have any other weapons. Even among the returning players Maric averaged 10.7 ppg, and Bankston averaged 8.2 ppg on FAR fewer shots than the others. And that is not even taking into account the newcomers. The scoring potential is there; now Walker just has to make sure Nowell gets the ball there.
