Anyone else think this is a byproduct of Miller not playing deep into his bench? I know that Jerrett also left because of some political shit between Miler and his former coach, but there were elements of no PT that led to his flight, and Chol's. Now Victor. And then someone gets hurt, and we come up short for a replacement.
I know that Ristic is doing well (better than I expected), but is he our only answer if anything happens to either BAsh or Zeus? Slide Rondae or SJ over? I don't know. Victor's FG% and ppg/mpg are very solid. I'm not saying he was a monster on defense but he had a good line, overall.
Maybe I'm overreacting. This was just the first Miller year that I felt good about the end of our bench, and then another guy bails early. It's like every year a big bails. I'm not saying that anything is at a critical point, but we might be an injury away from it (imagine if even Ristic got injured). And yet our guy for getting us through that is on the next bus leaving town.
Or, is this a byproduct of having one-and-done players that just naturally pushes more traditional four-year players out? Every year, as they work their asses off, they know they'll have to compete with returning players and new talent. Is this just Victor seeing the writing on the wall for next year, competing with Ristic, Ray Smith, Chase Comanche, whoever else Miller gets, and even the possibility of Bash or Zeus staying (probably Zeus)?
I don't know. I just don't like players transferring. It doesn't look good, and it takes up a jersey for someone who will stay and develop.
