While I disagree with Matt on this guy being the type of player we should target, I don't think this is really fair to him. Given our desperation for shooting, I don't blame him for questioning the fit. I just tend to think it's sort of the position that this program is in where we desperately need tone setters on defense as well as shooting and you're likely not going to get guys that solve both of those issues.

At the end of the day, this is college basketball. You can still be a good team even if you're not a good shooting team. What you absolutely cannot win with is what we had the last couple years: poor shooting AND poor defense.

I think Dickerson is one of those guys that will endear himself to fans and teammates/build momentum with his high-effort plays. Sort of like what Bobby Portis is for the Milwaukee Bucks, except Portis is heavily slanted towards scoring and toughness while Dickerson is slanted towards defense and toughness. I wish he were a better shooter, but if he was, we'd probably have no chance at getting him to begin with.
