With news that Bam Adebayo is signing with an agent and Hamidou Diallo testing the waters, it's time to do that thing we always do after such announcements: examine the state of next year's roster.
Midnight last night was the FINAL deadline for players to declare for the draft, so any worries you had about Wenyen Gabriel jumping to the league this year are moot.
With eight, possibly nine players gone from last year's roster and a new set of Cats on their way in, here's a look at next season as we know it:
Quade Green, Shai Alexander, Jemarl Baker, Hamidou Diallo (if he comes back)
Wenyen Gabriel, Jarred Vanderbilt, PJ Washington
Nick Richards, Tai Wynyard, Sacha Killeya-Jones
Jonny David, Brad Calipari, Dillon Pulliam
STILL PURSUING
Mo Bamba, Kevin Knox, Cam Johnson, Mark Smith
Right now, I'm sticking with Bamba and Johnson as the two most likely additions to next year's roster. Now more than ever, Johnson's college experience could be crucial.
