Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 2260711, member: 6357"] Agree with that assessment. I'll add that I listened to Francis's recent pod and he made a very important observation: We need Carey because we need an explosive, athletic guard that has an ability to attack the basket and get buckets when we need them combined with the ability to hit outside shots to keep defenses from sagging off...basically someone to replace Tyus, who will likely be going pro. Frank Howard Washington isn't that type of player and based on Francis's assessment Elijah Hughes may not be that guy either. I'm less worried about who can play PG in 2018-19--hopefully Howard or Washington can fill that role (along with Carey)--and more worried about who's going to be that attacking guard who can get to the rim easily and score when we need buckets. It sounds like Carey is that guy and will be able to play both guard spots. [/QUOTE]
