It sounds like we're recruiting similar players (big guys that have good ball-handling skills) but who knows if they will be able to give us what Demarre gave us.

You won't replace him. You hope that Ramsey/Bowers can provide you a reasonable facsimile and that English/Taylor/Tiller can pick up the slack. Carroll's major attribute was his energy. There's no reason we can't find someone to bring that and I think Anderson will see to it that we do.
In all honesty, I'm ready to see Lyons go. His on/off routine wore me out and had to wear the team out a little as well. While we may not see anyone that brings quite what Carroll does, I think we can find a frontcourt that is nearly as productive. Ultimately our backcourt will have to carry a greater load, though.
Next year's team will be different, that doesn't mean it will be worse.
