Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4471679, member: 1047"] That's true, but when he isn't pulling boards himself he seems to be the primary outlet for bigs, which is unusual and awesome. It is a pick your poison deal. Newton is certainly a capable guard, but he isn't Andre when on the move getting us from our defensive 3 point line to our offensive 3 point line, and Newton has shown a propensity to be susceptible to traps. Newton may very well handle it, but if I was an opposing coach, I would at least test it and see. That's all I'm saying. We may just end up surgically picking them apart in a a 1/2 court game. Andre sets the pace of our offense though, not Newton. Newton can't play at Andres pace (not really many people in NCAA can) so Newton as the 2nd option forced to be first, changes our look, even if that look in response ends up being successful. We are a hard team to play. I love it. [/QUOTE]
