Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 5161049, member: 2524"] We know he's a quality shooting guard, as he was that at Saint Mary's. But we have other quality shooting guards. Hurley brought him here to be a point guard, Mahaney said he left Saint Mary's to stretch himself and be challenged in a new role. I expect he wants to learn to be a point guard (which is his path to the NBA if he has one), and I think their mutual goal is to develop him as a point guard. If he can't master it in time, then his minutes will diminish, as they have. I think Hurley puts a high weight on player development, he wants to develop Ross as a backup shooting guard, Ball as a starting shooting guard, and Mahaney as a backup point guard, and developing in those roles is in the best interest of the players. We're not in danger of missing the NCAA tournament and come March we can re-arrange the rotation for the best performance of the team. I like how Hurley is doing things. [/QUOTE]
