Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 3289141, member: 581"] Trying to play basketball with one guard...tough sell. Villanova has tried it with 4. Having your shooting guard being the guy that everyone has to sell out for to get shots is a rather precarious position. It's certainly not ideal. There should be some aptitude at that position to do stuff outside of match-up based penetration. We NEEDED Beverly to be on Buddy to even have him functioning last night. It was kinda like a Baylor redux! Devo had lots other skills - what did he shoot from 3 v Buddy? Devo could handle really well, drive really well, was about a 12 out of 10 on finishing with his left hand from near or afar, could finish very well overall - having a shooting guard that can't alleviate pressure is not great. Buddy's like a shorter, slower, weaker, less athletic version of Tyler Lydon - but at SG. Phenomenal season, player, etc...but really lacking in many areas that players like Devo did not. [/QUOTE]
