Go to guy has to be able to get his own shot when the shot clock is going down and it's crunch time. Means off the dribble, means a threat to drive and pull up, means he has multiple threats and can beat quality defenses to get at least a moderately decent look or get fouled.

If we don't have that guy, nothing else really matters. I think the closest is JJ (can dribble ok, in the right moment, can be dependable shooting) or Bell (can get hotter than the surface of the sun, but needs to work on almost everything else).

I don't think it's fair to expect Donnie to be that guy (all due respect to him, I think he's going in the first round probably, but a lot of that will be his flashes vs his consistency).

I'm not sure how anyone can say we have a mismatch advantage with this lineup. We have to hope we have a lot of "solid" guys when the rubber meets the road and just beat teams because we don't have any gaping holes, but there is no one that is dynamic enough that is a straight up mismatch.

I know I've been a broken record, but I'm very worried about what Lampkin is expecting in terms of the offense and his place in it vs what we end up running when we get punched in the mouth.

All of this is basically leading me to my expectation of just getting in the tourney (regardless of seed) and likely be on the bubble coming towards the end of the season.

Especially since nothing I wrote pertains to defense.
