BustingBrackets.com preview of Drake- https://bustingbrackets.com/2023/10/...he-bulldogs/3/

As I look at their personnel (other than DeVries and Brody), I don't think they have enough to replace the contributions of Roman Penn, DJ Wilkins, Garrett Sturtz, and Sardaar Calhoun. They will still contend, but if teams can be effective guarding DeVries, or especially if they have any injuries to DeVries or Brody, that could change.

I thought Penn and Sturtz were the glue for Drake last year. I think they will miss them more than what they think

They definitely will miss those two plus the other two in Wilkins and Calhoun. Those 4 players added a lot as far as scoring last season. DeVries cannot carry that team and needs help as far as 3 point shooting goes plus Penn just really made everything go in running the point and was a not only a great passer but a good scorer.Hard to replace that type of player.
