Your in Fred's shoes. Your just won the Crown trny and $300,000. You have 4 guards coming back (Essegian, Hoiberg, Griffiths and Jacobson) and two forwards (BK and Mast).
Do you use that $300K to go after one player and best you can get for $300K. Is he a guard or an excellent shooting forward like Williams.
Second option is to split the $300K into two parts - say $175 and $125K and go after two. Now they won't be talked about like Williams or Gary, but they are coming in to replace what is leaving.
Basketball unlike football a 20M NIL could turn your program around. You could get two first rounders and possibly a couple support players. But with 300K in my opinion you are looking at support players not even at the quality of Williams.
I would go for the best available and pay him 300K.
