Which they have, respectfully my friend. Maybe not pro players, but Newell can ball, Alajiki can ball, Kuany can ball. Joel can facilitate…Wrenn Robinson is a passable backup PG. Roberson, Bowser, Anyanwu, Lars and Okafor can ALL run the floor. Sure, this team would never be Bubble, but they would absolutely have 12-14 wins with competent coaching.
Fox never put this team in a position to win, based on the skill sets of his players.
He’s got a team that goes a legit 9 deep, even with injuries, with no fewer than 7 long, athletic, and quick kids with solid motors…the story of the 2022-2023 Cal Men’s Basketball team is Mark Fox forcing a deep, athletic team that HE built to play a 1950’s Indiana High School basketball style…it’s a coaching problem, not a talent one.
Good coaching can compensate to a point...but there is only so much a coach can do without talent. You need at least a couple real ballers.
