Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 2969867, member: 581"] My optimistic natures tells me we'll be much more fun to watch - and right now I'll take that. Honestly we've been dreadful television for a bit now, and I'm excited about that alone. That being said, I'm in "we'll be better camp." 1. Carey. I can't really assess his vision - so I'm uneasy about his ability to play PG, but can he be worse than Frank Howard? Nope. I watch kid's Mixtapes and watch them dribble, and see if they look like they're pretty fluid with the ball, If they are, UPSIDE! If they aren't, scary! For example, everyone was amazed that Silent G became a PG, but watch his HS Mixtape...kid had a great handle, pretty slick, pretty fluid with the ball. Watch MCW, pretty slick, with the ball, etc... Watch Frank Howard's mixtapes...Uhhhh, not sure what screamed PG. He could do straight line drives and stutter. Decent vision...but not much else even in mixtapes. Carey's tapes are a bit like that, but he seems more explosive - and makes some moves with the ball that don't involve him coming to a complete stop. More fluid. So, maybe he's going to grow into the role. He has more upside than Frank, but feels more like a SG to me thus far. So, we have Howard Washington - at least he's a PG. The REST: Hughes, Marek, Goodine, OB, Guerrier, Girard, Braswell, maybe Carey. I like this group being honest. I remain bullish on OB putting it all together - the skill set is there, he just has to recognize some of his limitations and play to his strengths. The coaches need to figure it out. They're all pretty fun to watch though and all have some nice complimentary skills...only a few will obviously get big minutes though. Center: I have no idea what we're doing here. Maybe the NCAA will have some ruling where you only have to start 4 players......why can't we have nice things. :( I kinda hate the whole group, and the incoming Ajak. Marek is okay I guess, but he weighs 93 pounds. That group 2-4 is pretty talented, pretty athletic, pretty good shooting, and could excel in the zone. They're young, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them give us some life and a lot of fun basketball...but maybe inconsistent, but what's new with that? At least the upside is there. That being said, OB probably goes pro, Marek likely gets moved to PG, and Carey transfers to to Purdue or something. Who knows. It's all a bunch of unknowns right now. [/QUOTE]
