California guard Jordan Mathews (24) signals to his bench after draining a three late in the second half against the Arizona Wildcats in their Pac-12 game at Haas Pavilion, Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016, Berkeley, Calif. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

Gone: F Jaylen Brown (early pro departure), G Tyrone Wallace, G Jordan Mathews (transferred to Gonzaga).

Key newcomers: G Charlie Moore (freshman), F Roman Davis (freshman).

Why this pick: The Bears may have possibly the league’s best 1-2 inside-outside punch in Rabb and Jabari Bird, plus a pair of 7-footers inside and an underrated point guard in Sam Singer, but depth is otherwise thin. The transfer of Mathews, one of the Pac-12’s best three-point shooters, was both curious and harmful for the Bears.Β
