We have a very fast Jacob young. Sometimes out of control but really the only one of our guards who can blow by a defender; get to hoop and execute.
Pikiell has chosen to recruit big guards, Geo and McConnell and that can be a huge advantage; but doesn’t always translate to success. Both are shooters but not amazing ball handlers with speed. Paul is clearly not fast to the hoop. Great vision; but not a blow by player. Mathis can be fast but he doesn’t finish and he gets out of control. He’s been very off lately. Ron Harper can drive but he turns over the ball a lot when he tries to navigate through traffic.
We can bring in big guys, but I’d like to see speed and finishers who can get by defenders and execute. We can’t just have one Jacob young type player. We need 3 plus of these type of players; whether it be guards or small forwards.
