Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1319214, member: 569"] I few things to consider. MikeG being guarded by a guard severely limits his advantages. He isn't a post up guy and will have far less success driving on guards than he does on forwards. Mike's great value is as a SF who can play as a guard on offense but also has the size to finish when slashing to the rim. You take some of that away from him when you move him to the backcourt IMO. The idea of Malachi, Trevor and Mike would work because its what we do when Buss is in this year except Malachi can shoot. If Mike isn't around to supplement the PG spot next season then I'm a bit more concerned. PG will be important next year but if Mike is back Kaleb doesn't need to make hug improvements across the board to be successful. Kaleb has shown a lot of really good things this season and if you made a highlight real it would look great. So to me the pieces, abilities and raw skills are already in place. Yes he needs to improve and learn to run offense and of course most importantly learn to defend in our system but his biggest issue is confidence. Ennis was off the charts in mental and emotional readiness while Kaleb is shaky potatoes in these aspects. You can see it go both way for him, he makes a good play and he's likely to get on a hot streak, he makes a bad play and he's likely to make another and then another. The good news is that he can build up his confidence and learn to let the bad plays go. He will be much better next year IMO and at the worst he will be able to reliably ferry the ball up the court, provide some consistent scoring (8pts 45%) and give us 4 assists a game. Someone mentioned center if Bryant didn't come and failed to mention Diange. If Bryant doesn't come and DC2 cannot go (worst case in both situations) we will have Diange with Chino to back up and Chris to play spot minutes against less beefy teams. Still more depth than this year. [/QUOTE]
