That’s been the plan all along. I said it the day Symir announced. Expect Symir’s shooting woes to be used as the reason he can’t help if we are having trouble defensively.
He is big, if he could have a strong handle, could be great. Have to see if he gets a little PT this year.
I'm still not sure what the 3rd guard is for. Foul trouble I guess
not to nitpick...but they practice against each other every day for months plus im sure he plays a ton of one on one with his all-acc bro...not surprised in the least that the oldest most experienced player out there would look good in a game like this.
doubt sid plays at all this year = 90+%
this my concern with how they built the roster = what if 1 guard is injured? let alone 2?
Guys want to play. Outside of getting a Howard Washington type or developmental freshman we were never going to get anyone who could really help us being the fourth guard. Buddy will plat 38mpg and Joe 30-35. Obviously we need to hope for no injuries.
baylor just won the title with 4 dynamic guards...hoping 2 play every minute is not the recipe, imo.
Points wise for sure but Marek's intangibles ( bringing the ball up, willingly sharing the ball, blocked shots, drives to the hoop, etc) are going to be very difficult to replace.
what about for ball handling, breaking a press, creating for others
Valid points but I remember playing at VaTech in 2019 and we were playing 4v5 on offense in the second half because they were pretending HoWa didn’t exist. Rather just have an ACC level player on the court, who is probably talented enough to take the ball up the court if he has to, than a low major kid.
That was where Marek was invaluable. A lot to ask of Jimmy or Benny but hopefully they up to the task.
i understand he has a shorter rotaation than almost anyone...for minutes.
And an enjoyable 1000th post from you, sir!
