I just don't see the Bruins being that highly regarded or rated next season. I have to think that these ratings are based on Booker successfully and effectively transitioning from a rather mediocre and ineffective 4 to an effective low post 5 and Dailey transitioning effectively from a sometimes effective 4 to a consistently effective 3. Neither of those transitions, IMO, are anywhere near a given.

Add to this the question of whether 3 other transfers can prove to be effective players coming off the bench with a level of play that they haven't yet shown where they can effectively compete on a season long basis.

There's a lot of huge question marks for this team coming into next season. Any or all these question marks left unanswered will, IMO, leave the Bruins, small, not very deep, rebound challenged, and/or possibly defensively vulnerable.

Maybe this upcoming team will be everything the prognosticators predict they will be or maybe they will be as near a bust a Cronin team can be. It's fun to read how effective this upcoming Bruin team will be and maybe I'm being too cautious, but I think not one official practice with the entire team has taken place and maybe right now it would be better to approach these predictions as fantasy wishful thinking more than anything else and leave it at that. These prognosticators have to earn their keep and this is their job, but really, they have no idea what they're talking about.
