I think if we pick up a point guard, he'll be a backup to Duane, who will have been in the system for a year.
Just need one solid scorer/ball handler. Many key guys are getting a trial by fire, and Henry Ellenson is coming in at just the right time for the program (and I believe a top talent can be that transformative). I expect that Wojo will sign more then one guy, but I think this team is far closer to being good next year then many people think right now.

Unless Wally comes in and shows he can really rebound, we need help on the glass. I have zero faith in Taylor. Tonight was a prefect illustration of his MU career.
Coming off a terrific performance against Seton Hall (14/6), he goes for 0 and 1. Terrible.
But, that's what he's done at MU. Goes for long stretches with zero to little production, then boom, a great game. Then back to nothing.
His freshman year it was chalked up to being a freshman. Last year, it was because of injuries and Buzz. But, this year???
Also, MU will need another scoring guard. I'm not convinced that over the off-season that the large offensive holes in JJJ and Sandy's games can be fully fixed. JJJ needs so much work on his outside shot and Sandy's ball-handling needs major improvement.
A lot of blame can be placed on MU's staff tonight as the team looked clueless when X went to its relatively passive 1-3-1. Needed to attack the corners, but never did trying to go to the middle where X was jamming things. Another learning lesson for all.
