Just watched Zach Hicks' portal highlight video: [MEDIA=youtube]tblAOP97HkM[/MEDIA]

The entire thing consists of spot-up 3-pointers.  Looks like a good player.  He'll be a Junior.  I assume he would demand a starting position.  Which tells me Red may be moving away from Bell at the 3.  My problem is this: if we're looking for a transfer wing to start (which I'm on board for), I hope they land a do-it-all stud wing.  Not sure this guy beats defenders off the dribble.  Seems pretty similar to Bell, so why not just go with Bell.  As a sophomore he rebounded better than Bell as a freshman.  That's a big deal if Bell can't learn to rebound.  If either him or Bell would settle for a bench position, then it's good to have options of shooters at the 3.  If Judah and JJ start at guard, we'll definitely need shooting forwards.  Both guards excel at getting to the rim, so we should surround them with shooters and I suppose it's less important for our 3 to beat guys off the dribble, although I'd really like that.

I guess I'm just wondering if we could do better at the forward position if we're moving away from our current guys.  Remains to be seen whether Bell takes a big sophomore leap.  His shot is pure and he's athletic.  I only watched this one video, and he could be capable of more than I saw.  Also it's early in the portal so it's good to see the staff building relationships, and perhaps better players enter the portal later they can pursue.  I'm open to someone changing my mind.
