Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3577826, member: 9052"] Since we're in the off season, but also not far off the start of preseason training. It seems as good a time as any to revisit an obsession that was awakened by [USER=1899]@Big Pete[/USER] regarding composition of the squad and breaking it down to Veterans, Seasoned and Rookies based on Trent Robinson's thoughts. The original link to BP's post and description of each band is provided at the bottom, but the table below tracks how the squad has been progressing through these bands since 2020. I've kept Herbie, Flegler and Palasia in the table, because it shows where the squad would've been if they stayed but also the risks of being a development club. They would've been part of the core group ready to jump up to seasoned players in 2024, but with them gone we don't have an immediate replacement and because we don't necessarily buy players it sets the squad composition back and will take a couple years for the 'replacements' to come through (Mariner, Willison, etc.). What I did find interesting was Fletcher Baker comes into the squad with 46 games under his belt already, so he's sitting there as a Palasia replacement straight off the bat.
