Boat was my favorite Husky, ever...despite being the second best player on the team. The D he played in the tourney was amazing. Love me some Boat.
Yup. The Boat/Shabazz backcourt ate everyone up defensively. They are the example of the smaller guys who made life difficult for big guys: they were strong, smart, and Boat was an elite athlete. On the offensive end the size didn't bother them all that much because they were so fast they could blow past most dudes and they could shoot from range with a hair trigger. Both generated their own shots, passed off the dribble, and got fouls at the rim.
You can't really replicate two (let's be honest) sub-6 foot guards like them.
