Like most teams, the core and bulk of the roster is still the same. And you have to work with what you have.
The biggest potential change this season comes if they get an upgrade via KP's play and better availability.
Otherwise, what has changed is the apparent quality and depth of the 2nd team, with Bullock and Brown replacing Richardson and Johnson. That impacts not only what they can do in normal game rotations, but also in what happens when players are sick or injured. And while not as flashy, a difference in only 2-3 points per game can make a major difference in the record over a long season. Progress at the margins matters more than people realize.
