Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 4797353, member: 1620"] I understand everyone is excited about the guard depth and the duo of JJ/Judah. It could be the best backcourt in the ACC. But honestly, unless Benny AND McLeod both take big steps, I can’t imagine us being “really good”. I think Maliq will take a step forward. But really those 3 are the guys we are counting on for size, physicality, rebounding, etc. Ideally all 3 play well (with a mix of Hima) and carve out their roles. The rest of our roster is basically guards; even if you call Bell a forward he’s an offensive guy - he isn’t going win battles down low with bigs for rebounds. If Benny and/or McLeod struggle, it’s going to put a lot on Maliq - and there’s nothing else behind him. I think the guards will be really good . But unless Benny and McLeod have big years, I think the ceiling is limited. Now that doesn’t mean we can’t make a run in March with great guard play - but we really need our bigs to be consistent [/QUOTE]
