Why No. 17?: Kenyon Martin is gone, and so too, are DerMarr Johnson, Pete Mickeal, Jermaine Tate and Ryan Fletcher. Eugene Land is out for the year with an injured knee and Antwan Jones is gone from practice for a month with a broken bone is his foot. Bob Huggins is concerned, and publicly making it sound as if the Bearcats are in serious trouble. But they're not. Once Jones is healthy, and he's expected to be for the season, the Bearcats have scorers, rebounders and defenders at every position. Cincinnati may lack a dominant player like Martin, but it'll still be tough to match. Kenny Satterfield returned after flirting with the draft and is a threat every time he touches the ball. Steve Logan, Leonard Stokes and Immanuel McElroy can be interchangeable with Stokes the most improved of the three. All but McElroy know Huggins' system and won't need a transition period. Jones can be the go-to forward with Donald Little, Rod Flowers and Jamaal Davis rotating in to provide the rest of the production inside.
