Fixed!
First, my fix is likely quite true.
Second, Buddy is one likable kid. Off the charts likable, and I'm glad he's here. Much like Mookie Jones before him, I love me some shooters!
Third, the kid is pretty limited. Insanely limited up to this point in his career and his minutes make no sense on any justifiable level.
Fourth, are we really not recruiting any shooting guards until he's gone? He's not very good for a SG at most things that don't involve three point shooting. Perhaps none at this point.
Fifth, he's far exceeded expectations and should be roundly applauded by all for the strides he's already made!
Sixth, those strides have allowed him to reach the point where you could probably easily justify him averaging 20 minutes per game, or maybe even more!
Seventh, I mean, if your starting shooting guard, at this point, still tends to recoil in terror from hard pressure or a double team, and dribble backwards (like the kid that got cut trying out for your JV team in HS), and then just tosses a bounce pass to the other team - you got a shooting guard that can't play 40 MPG.
- Best example of this late in the season was the first UNC match-up
Eighth, if he gets much, much, much, much faster and athletic perhaps he can be a serviceable 35-40 MPG type guy.
Ninth, he's not going to get much faster or athletic. At least I doubt it happens.
Tenth, we have to hope Kadary and Griffin are stupendous, or we may be in some trouble for at least a couple more years. A super dynamic PG/SF can offset a lot of Buddy's limitations. JGIII and an Eli-Light, cannot.
