I understand the frequent frustrations with Scoop and Brandon. But, when real competition arrives, those two guys seem to rise to the level. How many times last year - when we were really struggling against a BE opponent - did Scoop hit a big shot to start us off? I'm specifically recalling the game at Pitt, when we were being blown out, and everyone in Orange looked completely skurred. Scoop had the stones to knock down a three, and from there, we took off and made our own run.

While Dion may be more athletic/explosive/whatever you want to call it - when it comes down to it, i want Scoop in the game.

Triche... I don't know sometimes. He's got the capacity to hold the starter's position. But, in my mind, if you swapped the Wild Card (Dion), i think it would be an 'even' deal. Scoop + Triche equals Scoop + Dion... over the long haul. That's factoring in Triche's steady/heady play, versus Dion's potential for big moments/plays. You've got plusses and minuses either way.

MCW may look nice now - early, against nobodies. But, when the big kids are playing and muscling him, his effectiveness will be diminished. He's not Lamb.
