Don't know that I have a favorite, but it is a promising group. All the frosh should be around awhile and look to have potentially high upside.

I am not excited about Cal basketball in any way shape or form, but I am intrigued by Brown and Thiemann especially.

I think South will be a solid contributor and have no ideas about the others.

Each one is intriguing. If South can be anything like Grant Mullins that would be a big help.

Lars seems to be a potentially good and maybe even better trade-off for Vanover.

DJ, Dimitrious and Kuany are some athletic bigs that we really need.

I think Joel Brown has the best upside as a program changer. He could be that special 3-4 year player for us that turned our program around.

Short term: Street- Brings experience. Takes pressure off Austin.

Medium term: Thiemann - Gives us size inside. Comes to Cal in playing shape from international play. Will need early season to learn team defense concepts. Will need off-season next year to bulk up.

Long term: Brown - Clearly our floor leader of the future.

Pretty sure Dimitrios is a guard.

Ah right. A tallish guard a la Ty Wallace. Maybe he can rebound like him.

I feel like we didn't really see Gordon this last year - so he is my most anticipated first year player for the second year in a row!

In order . . .

DJ Thorpe
Kareem South
Lars Thiemann
Dimitrios Klonaras
Kuany Kuany

You guys all realize that there's nobody on the roster named Kareem Street, right?

Now, if we had Kareem Abdul-Jabar or even Lou Alcindor on our roster we would be in pretty good shape!

Go Bears!

From his video, he is more of a playmaker, so I see him as sort of a point forward, a la Rick Barry. And we need a small forward who can score.

I'm kinda excited about the signing of Willie Cauley-Stein!
It will also be interesting to see if any of the draft picks pan out.
And, of course, our 3rd all-star guard, that'll be fun. How with Steph and Deangelo mesh. I love that a younger ball handler is there to take the weigh off Curry.
Goodbye Quinn Cook! Coulda woulda shoulda, nope.

Maybe like his son Brent Barry who was fun to watch at Oregon State. But Brent was pass first and saw the floor really well not sure if that's a good comparison.
