Some huge holes there Scooby.

Pritchard for one,

Also, quite of the guys are walking wounded always fragile and prone to injury.  That scares the heck out of me

His size and position and lack of shooting prowess could remind me of Sean Livingston but a little taller.

Nice comp. Let's hope similar growth (without injury).

That's a good one. He's faster than slow mo but he has that drive and pass game.

Isn't Banton already 24 years old?  He may well be a good prospect, someone worth having in for a serious look, but I am not expecting anything from him this season.  I see him at the end of the bench with Chamapgnie or Davison, which isn't necessarily a totally bad thing.  We should have some prospects at the end of the bench.  I would rather not have 4 or 5 prospects at the end of the bench but I am fine with say 2, some combination of Banton, Davison, Walsh, say 1 or 2 on the roster, the other 1 or 2 as 2-way.

Turns 24 in November.  Not young, but certainly room for growth.
