Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 5137375, member: 7806"] I don't think our staff envisioned Ball's defensive development to lag as much as it has been (I'm still gonna be optimistic and say he improves through the course of the season) Maybe Mahaney promised a late growth spurt over the summer and it never happened (j/k, of course). But it was more likely that the staff felt our offense works just fine without a true traditional PG (which I tend to agree with), and saw enough of his driving/shot creation abilities at StMU that they were comfortable. They also may have been looking at better cohesion with team development over the next 2-3 years (Hass final year, Mahaney 2 more years, Nowell ~2 years) [/QUOTE]
