Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2976185, member: 40"] Four candidates, four very different skill sets / capabilities. [B][SIZE=7][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Carey[/COLOR][/SIZE] Pros:[/B] [LIST] [*]Speed [*]Scoring aptitude [*]Has tools to be + defender up top [*]Semi-experienced [/LIST] [B]Cons:[/B] [LIST] [*]Frosh year was an unmitigated disaster [*]He showed very little confidence in his handle [*]Turnover prone [*]Can he be a lead guard? [/LIST] [B][SIZE=7][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Goodine[/COLOR][/SIZE] Pros:[/B] [LIST] [*]Elite athleticism [*]Being groomed at HS level to play lead guard [*]Defensive potential [/LIST] [B]Cons:[/B] [LIST] [*]Converting to lead guard [*]Can he run a team? [*]Can he shoot? [/LIST] [B][SIZE=7][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Washington[/COLOR][/SIZE] Pros:[/B] [LIST] [*]Pure point [*]Has some game experience [*]Has shown ability to shoot [/LIST] [B]Cons:[/B] [LIST] [*]Injuries -- can he stay healthy? [*]Size [*]Can he defend adequately? [*]Is his "potential" limited to being a reserve? [/LIST] [B][SIZE=7][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Girard[/COLOR][/SIZE] Pros:[/B] [LIST] [*]Elite shooter [*]Multi-sport athlete [*]Winner - carried team to state championships in two different sports [*]Confidence [/LIST] [B]Cons:[/B] [LIST] [*]Played off the ball in AAU [*]Average athleticism [*]Size [*]Playmaking aptitude? [*]Better as an off the bench scorer than a starter? [/LIST] It is highly unusual to have four different players, with such divergent attributes. I'm actually excited to see how this competition unfolds. Competition breeds better play, and I'd expect that the presence of incoming Goodine / Girard is going to push Carey this offseason. I'm inclined to think that this is the biggest, most impactful question mark we have going into next year. How will the point guard puzzle gets solved is going to go a long way toward determining how next year's team performs. May the best player win the PT. [/QUOTE]
