Message: [QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 3063625, member: 493"] I think you are putting wayyyyyyyyy too much weight in the whole "AAC is a bigger, better league than the A10" stuff. 3 guard lineups work all the time at every level on basketball if you have, you know, a frontcourt that can hold its own. In fact CV is kind of an ideal 3 guard lineup guard, since he rebounds and defends at such a high level relative to his size. The real problem here is tension between the lineups we will play in 3 years and the players we have now. Ideally we would have a bunch of guards that can all dribble and score off the bounce. Right NOW, we don't really have any ballhandlers on this team taller than 5'10(AG) next year. I think Brendan Adams can do some fun things, but set up an offense is not one of them. Tarin Smith will be gone. CV bless his heart, not a maestro off the dribble. So forget lineup composition, we will need strait up guys of any size who can put the ball on the deck next year to support AG. I think the most likely two options are Gaffney for sure, and Bouk maybe. So my point with line-ups is that since you need 2 ball-handlers, CV will by necessity need to learn to play an efficient role as 6th man, because to your point we aint starting a 6'1 3-man. If the game dictates, he can come in to spell the 2 or the 3 depending on matchups, but I just don't see him starting. Again to someone else's point, it does matter who closes. And CV could really be a clutch and important end-game player if he makes one very easy change. Stop ever dribbling. If he gets the ball, and he is not open for a shot, he should just hold it until he can safely hand it back to AG or whoever is running the offense. ***I'm only joking a little bit about the last sentence. 99% of the bad things CV does are related to dribbling and then doing dumb things*** [/QUOTE]
