At positions 1-3 the roster is looking good

The team is certainly not elite at any of the guard positions but having Perkins as a second-team all conference player at point guard is really helpful. If Bates plays as he did in the conference season and Grill is at full health, with bench scoring from Warrick, Boateng, and Crews, I think there will be a large amount of points coming from those three positions. At least some of the guards seem like they can be effective at defense as well (Perkins, Robinson, Grill, and Boateng are perhaps the best defenders among the group you listed at positions 1-3).
As everyone has noted, our front court roster is still inexperienced and sort of mediocre unless someone improves dramatically. With time, some of the forwards will get more SEC-ready, but it doesn't seem like the current group of forwards will be ready for major SEC minutes yet, with the possible exception of Shaw as a junior (sure hope his offense improves). Adding a rugged forward like Mitchell who can rebound and defend well and score around the basket is clearly needed to make this team more complete and competitive in the SEC.
