BC's lack of depth is going to get them into trouble during ACC play. It's amazing in Year 4 the lack of bench options we have. I trust Kraljevic and Reyes off the bench sort of.
Baker isn't ready (I could see him developing eventually into a decent piece), but I find it hard to believe that there isn't someone in the student section who is better than Wilson. I have 1 year of NCAA eligibility remaining, and will happily take a free Masters degree to play 5 minutes off the bench as a back-up guard.
They should've gone after a 5th year guard even from a DII school.

It's nice to have and if you want to press you need it, but your best players should be playing tons of minutes anyway, and you can usually rotate the sub through the positions. You need to squeeze 5-10 minutes out of a guard and have an extra big because they often get in foul trouble.

I agree with the premise, but we're like 6 players deep.

That is one of the smarter things you've said Teddy. And I agree with you. Depth in college basketball is largely overrated. But I get the impression that if I had said that first (and not you) that you would have teased me and disagreed with me on general principle of being a dick.
