I don’t think we lose everyone.
My thinking is that if Stokes signs, a kid like Kam Williams might be tempted to bolt rather than lose his starting spot to Stokes.
Right now, I expect Lowe back at PG, Johnson at SG, Dioubate at PF, and Moreno at C, with the SF spot either going to Stokes or Williams. I think Chandler will be good with starter minutes off the bench. Hopefully Williams will be okay also getting starter minutes backing up the 3/4 spots, if we get Stokes, but he might not be okay with that.
But a kid like Stokes probably demands 30 minutes a game. Going to be hard to keep a guy at the same position around, so Williams is probably the most likely to leave if we sign Stokes.
So it might be a returning Williams or Stokes.
I’m a fan of retention, but Stokes is likely a superstar.
Might be a tough call for the staff.
