Abdul Malik-Abu "seriously considering transferring"

Right I was saying when he was coming into his freshman year.

Ok...what does that have to do with Larrier? He's already played a year of D-I basketball.

another thread that has come completely off the tracks.....read the last two pages and no one would know the subject of this thread was about Abu.

All I'm saying is guys like Larrier tend to have more success as a mismatch four than as a three in college.

I didn't see him much at VCU.

Then how can you say he would be best utilized at the 4?

Nobody that watched DeAndre play at the college level for more than 5 minutes thought he could play the 2. Everyone thinks they're a guard in high school where nobody plays defense; then they get to the D-I level and quickly learn they can't cross up opposing guards so easily.

It's not that no one plays defense in high school, IMO.

It's more that there is such a talent disparity between the Div. 1 recruit and the 5'-6" power forward, who's worried about his chemistry homework. Coaches inevitably want to get the ball into the hands of their best player as often as possible, regardless of size.

DeAndre was completely lost the few times early on in his career when he played the 3, he was always a stretch 4. Larrier has more quickness and ball-handling skills, and he was more of a wing at VCU.

Larrier looks a lot more athletic deandre always looked stuff. But still the original point I was making was I think we're going to be forced to play him at the 4.

Facey and Brimah just doesn't provide enough spacing. I also think Alterique is special and needs to be on the floor.

Yeah this was basically what I meant by that comment but was just being lazy.
