Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3680018, member: 289"] I asked Manchild why he chose those three players and he said that it was because they seemed to have similar skills, although he considered dropping Trevor out since he didn't play the point. All three came here as a reputation as shooters. They all lived up to it although there was some criticism about their shot selection and shooting percent age. He was not surprised by the ranking but suggested that if Joe was between GMAC and Cooney at this stage, he was doing pretty well for a young player pressed into service at the point when he's really a shooting guard. I told him that a poster here, (unidentified), had suggested that we tend to see white players with similar skill sets as being more similar than black players with the same skill set. Manchild said that was not the case here. he didn't see other SU guards in recent years as being a part of this group. I suggested that John Gillon had a similar skill set but was a senior and thus not at a comparable stage of his career and he agreed, saying that's why he didn't include John. Eric Devendorf, Jonny Flynn, Andy Rautins, Scoop Jardine, Brandon Triche, Dion Waiters, Tyler Ennis, MCW, Kaleb Joseph, Michael Gbinije, John Gillon and Frank Howard don't quite fit in the same mold. Devo could drive to basket better than any of them. Jonny was an athletic dunker but not a great shooter. Andy was similar to Trevor as a shooter but a far better passer and great at the top of the zone. Scoop is the one guy you might want to add to the group but I think he was a purer point guard and not as good a shooter. Triche and Waiters loved to drive to the basket. Tyler was the purest point guard. MCW was almost in his own category and I guess Kaleb was a in a different way. Gbinje was a point forward. Gillon was a senior. Howard was a lanky shooter with range but little consistency who couldn't shoot at all when he first got here. [/QUOTE]
