With just four returning players - Marshall Plumlee, Amile Jefferson, Matt Jones and Grayson Allen, and newcomers Chase Jeter, Derryck Thornton, Brandon Igram, Antonio Vrancovic, Luke Kennard, Justin Robinson and transfer Sean Obi, nothing will be the same.
And that's just fine.
Part of the charm of any season is seeing a team come together.
