Yeah, we'll have some competition at guard now - though we'll have little continuity or veteran leadership.
Dylan has a .435/.403/.778 stat line. I liked his video.
I think we're entering a phase where "lack of continuity" is going to be the new normal. The veteran leadership issue you point out will be a problem. Slajchert's departure leaves a void. Who among next year's senior class will step up? Smith? Spinoso? McMullen? Holland? Thrower is the only rising junior with any real game experience to speak of, even though he was out of the rotation much of last season. Sam Brown, as a sophomore?

Harumph. I was going to say exactly that. Unless there's a major, conference-wide policy change, Ivy programs are going to need largely to rebuild every year. Veteran leadership will have to come from players who aren't good enough to attract much interest outside of the conference. Talented players will be constantly entering and leaving. The coaches will need to retool and simplify their offensive and defensive schemes such that their most talented players will be able to get the hang of things on both ends of the court pretty much immediately, as those players are unlikely to be around for more than a season or two.
It's a new world, Golda.
