Next year he'll have Crutch/J. Davis/Kostas/Matej as sophomores. Cunningham, X, Crosby as seniors and a junior Ryan Mikesell/Trey Landers. Possibly a Junior Sam Miller (or new recruit/grad transfer/transfer) and for sure an absolute stud in Cohill. Plus you get Toppin eligible who IMO is more ready to play right away than Pierce.
Next year is the year you make a run. This year you instill the system and try to develop younger players as much as possible.

If playing for the next game is the future, I agree. You play the team that gives you the best chance to be successful. Anthony is doing that. Otherwise he wouldn't play DD, his only senior,37 minutes per game.
