To understand the addition of Dual better to me is to look at our targets and returning guys. Tobiason is an aggressive scoring wing/2 with measurables that let him play more like he’s 6-8/6-9 than 6-5. Mayes is built like Triche with a nice shot, incredible rebounding numbers for a guard and a good handle and a good passer. M3 is a scorer and shooter with good size and euro fundamentals and high percentages. Doty is a do it all who is relentless in attacking and a ball of energy. Kiyan is the highly skilled wing that has a unique bag of tricks , good size and a much more methodical approach to the game. He also can handle it and is capable as a passer. Kiyan and M3 are offense first and second. Dual is defense first and second. Tobiason and Mayes are a mix on that.

Anyways this gives you a backcourt with a lot of different things you can use in situations and real competition to make their impact if that’s where things land. A pecking order will develop I’m sure if this is the backcourt and if we are lucky an extremely deep backcourt.

If we go really big at the 5 plus FF then add in the possibility of going four guards at times given the size and measurables may allow it just as small ball minutes at the 5 are possible too.

Another nugget- VCU at times played 4 wings/ guards with a couple bigger guards on the floor and their offense was really effective in the second half of the season when they went on a tear going 16-1. The influence of the assistants is showing up here a bit too.
