Hawk’s basic premise is accurate (despite the mental gymnastics to make it appear even more accurate) — we lack guards who are COMPLETE players, who can defend, handle, drive, and shoot.
We only have one such guard — Dylan Harper.
All of our other guards/wings have severe flaws in some parts of their game that render them nearly unplayable in certain matchups … except they HAVE to play because they’re all we got.
Does anybody think that Derkack or Hayes would play on any other team, or that JMike and Acuff would be anything more than deep reserves? And JWill is nothing more than a backup PG on a good team, as he shoots 20% from deep.
That’s our 5-guard rotation behind Harper, and it’s ugly. Like, really ugly. A Frankenstein of a guard rotation.
Meanwhile, Kevin Willard hit the jackpot in the portal with three “2-way” guards who can do everything including shoot. Green with envy at what he’s been able to do down in College Park.
