Stone-cold locks: The Bears will have much better scoring balance this year, as no one other than the five starters scored more than 3.7 points per game. … Rabb will be in the Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year race. … Cal will struggle to replace Jaylen Brown but will struggle even more trying to replace Tyrone Wallace.
