I think your point is correct on the whole, but with a couple good dribble drive players and a good post threat, Girard could get a fair number of open looks.

Girard shooting guarded threes moving sideways=bad possession.

Girard shooting wide open threes off pick and roll=3 points

If or offense works as it should, Girard gets open threes in a variety of ways:

Drive and dish (Mintz/Torrence)
Kickout from the post (Edwards)
Off the pick and roll (Edwards)
Kickout off offensive rebounds
Transition
Motion offense off the double screens

Imagine we can get him an open three out of each of those situations once a half... If we can get the offense working, Girard shooting 20 shots a game could be really good for us.  I fear he'll have too much of a green light and will shoot us out of some games, but we can hope his shot selection will mature as a senior. His backcourt mates are going to be much better fits for him than Buddy was.  I really think we'll see a different Girard than any previous season.
