What is Cal basketball capable of with their bad run of health?

Strengths - Point guard and Power Forward. We have two plus plus players. I think Mullins has been better than expected too. Even if the numbers aren't there yet, I think we're going to be an elite defensive team yet again too - although Kam being out will hurt us in this regard.

Weaknesses - Aside from just missing Bird and Kam - it also means more minutes for guys who are more likely to make mistakes, miss plays and not be as ready to play big minutes. It also means that once you lose two regular rotation players, if you lose players in a game (foul trouble) - you're that much closer to giving meaningful minutes to deep rotation guys - like we saw Brandon Chauca against Hawaii.
