It's difficult for most to even offer a sense of what to expect from Coach Dave Wojcik's squad in the coming season since very little remains and so many new players have been added. The link above is a solid listing of signees plus the new coaching staff so credit is due there.
The Spartans are going to be led on the floor by freshmen Jalen James and Rashad Muhammad. The other signees are, at least at this point, complementary types and role players and in Seinfeldian mode, there's nothing wrong with that.
Forward Chris Cunningham will certainly help upfront -- he's probably maxed out his potential as he enters his senior season (as he has already redshirted a year) but maybe Wojcik and Company can draw even more efficiency from him.
Lumps will be taken, especially early on so it will be important to see how the 'kids' respond. James and Muhammad will develop into winning their positions nightly but it will be critical for at least two of the frontcourters to perform similarly sooner rather than later. Freshman center Matt Pollard can achieve that in time so patience with him will be necessary.
