They don't guard people very well, or drive, or dish all that well.  Although Girard did have a pretty amazing drive/dish against Duke.

All of those things are traits I value in guards.  They shoot pretty well, and minimize errors.  Also things I value.  :)  It's all how you weight them together I suppose.

I feel like people think we have a unicorn in Buddy.  There is a reason mid-majors are  littered with those types of players, and P5 types have them as 20 MPG guys.  It's not like those kids come in against P5 teams, playing 35 MPG on some mid-major, and can't occasionally get to the rim.  Buddy isn't showing us things on the court so shocking that brains should be exploding with such regularity.

I'm certainly not implying they're inept (AT ALL) - but stacking them in a back court with big minutes, eh, dangerous proposition unless you have a REALLY dynamic SF when the ball is in his hands.

I will say again though, how Goodine, Richmond, etc...integrate into the lineup could change it all next year.  Who knows.  I just remain a bit skeptical on that.  As I know for a fact that Goodine is bad at practicing, and fear Richmond may be bad in that regard as well.
