2010:  Andy, Triche, Scoop
2011:  Scoop, Triche, Waiters
2012:  Scoop, Triche, Waiters (MCW kinda, not really)
2013:  MCW, Triche, Cooney (barely)

2014:  Ennis, Cooney, Gbinije (not many minutes, and mostly at SF)

2015:  Kaleb Joseph, Gbinije, Cooney, Buss (sorta)
2016:  Gbinije, Cooney, Frank (barely).  Kaleb basically didn't play.  Malachi played over 95% of his minutes at SF.
2017:  Gillon, Battle, Frank
2018:  Frank, Battle...

So, I didn't see quite the depth disparity I was anticipating, but there are some notable differences between our 'fast' and slow teams at Guard, in general.

[U]'Fast'[/U]
- 3 [B]actual[/B] guards on the roster and able to contribute
- Brandon Triche: a consistent, high basketball IQ guard with the ability to score from multiple spots on the court, who has reasonably good ballhandling and can lead a fast break.

[U]Slow[/U]
- A Forward playing out of position at Guard due to a lack of depth, in the better scenario.  In the worse scenario, just 2 guards able and ready to contribute... period.  Also, Kaleb freaking Joseph.
- Trevor Cooney: a one-dimensional scorer who can't push the ball up the court and doesn't pass particularly often or well.  Can't lead a fast break.

This season, we have the most guard depth we've had in a long time.  And I think we have guys at SG closer to a Triche-type than a Cooney-type.  That bodes well, imo.  Outside of the 2010 team with Wes, I didn't notice any glaring trends in the frontcourt that would separate the fast and slow teams, but somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
