It's my OPINION that Emory, Jacurri and Judd will be "less ready" for 2024 than someone we'll ultimately grab in the portal. Never said those three guys will never work out. I'm speaking for 2024 and giving my opinion, which I'm entitled to have.
I'm saying the answer will be in the portal because I don't think Emory, Jacurri or Judd are starting next season. The reason those three aren't the answer is a different discussion.
