This roster is radically better than last season's. The chemistry most likely will be better as well.

I wasn't that pumped about Lamin at first but after looking at the Bahamas shooting % I see him as a guy that has a big opportunity to earn some minutes with 3 point shooting.
Also, I looked at his twitter and I like that it has a reference to 11/8/13, as in the first regular game of the season!

This roster is radically better than last season's. The chemistry most likely will be better as well. Radically? I don't know. I see marked improvement, but mainly because Brown, Fouse and Sykes are a year older and McKinnie looks pretty good. At this time of the year every fan thinks their own team is ready for a break out season and that all of their rivals are going to flounder. I am no different. With that said only a milwaukee panthers fan could say this roster isn’t way better. I am not saying it is good enough to win the league but break it down and it’s better top to bottom. Brown, Mays, Fouse, Sykes and Love are the only guys returning that played last year and will play this year. Those are core players and by all accounts they are all either the same or better than last year. Then go down the list and look at the rest. Who would you rather have? Arenz or Lowe? Lowe by a mile, enough said. Stefan or Botz? I liked Stefan but Botz looks to be similar or better and I am not sure he will break in to the rotation. Cerroni or Fulton? Cerroni is a better pure shooter but he really struggled last year, Fulton seems more dynamic and confident. Cougill or McKinnie? McKinnie is a better fit for the team and probably one of the best players on the team and top 20 in the league. Muhammed or Garrett? Different players but I like the size of Garrett to guard the bigger guards in the HL. Plus I like his aggressiveness and athletic ability better. Humphrey with a bad knee vs Humphrey healthy? I am not sure what role he plays for this team but I do know at the end of his freshman year he was starting. Last year he couldn’t play at all. Getting him healthy can only improve the roster. McKinnie sitting out vs Findlay? Not the same position but the idea of having a scholarship player at a position of need compared to one of our best players sitting out last year only makes the roster deeper. Turner injured or hobbling vs. Turner injured or hobbling? No change but instead of expecting him to play the roster has a lot more depth to withstand him potentially being out this year. This roster may struggle to score in the half court but top to bottom they have guys that can play the defense/up tempo style Wardle wants. This is a way better roster and a way better mix of players. I don’t know if that is enough to get past WSU or CSU but it is enough to have me really excited.
