Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2340062, member: 405"] Long time, no see, Walt! Looking at your list, I kind of disagree. While the original post did say "a 2G who can penetrate and disrupt", I think the point is that we need to have someone who can do that, to get defenses to collapse to open space for three point shooters. So you're kind of right, but on the '87 Sherm, the PG, could obviously drive and disrupt, as could Stevie Thompson. On the '96 team, we were definitely deficient in that department, and could only point to Todd Burgan as a guy who could drive from the wing against a defense. In 2003, somehow you left out Billy Edelin, but again, you're right, the OP said "2G who can drive", not other positions. On the '10 team, I think that was young Scoop. So yeah, the OP may have got it wrong that the driving has to come from a particular position, but we often have that capability if we are going to be a good team. It has to come from somewhere.
