I would imagine a "legit lead guard who can play defense" that actually checks all the boxes we needed would be a great deal more expensive than Lampkin was. The point guard people desire either does not exist (because they are in the league already) or is ungodly expensive. See us never being in the running for Mack, along with the ridiculous rumors of Kadary's price tag. I wish we at least tried to find a single higher quality guard than two with a lower ceiling from lesser conferences in Carlos and Taylor.

The portal will NEVER fully satisfy. It is low supply, ridiculously high demand, and the tie will often go to the school that is poised to instantly have success the very next year, not a couple years down the line. If you are a struggling team you have to pay more. It is very difficult for me to make a judgement on Reds choices unless we knew the 100% exact tradeoffs he made. I think it is highly likely that any guard we were capable of getting at a Lampkin-level price would have one or two Lampkin-level flaws.
