Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4256193, member: 10"] It's been discussed on here many times and Calhoun perfected that kind of line up so I figured I'd post this article. It was probably the biggest thing this year's team lacked. We had one guy, Cole, who could create and score off the dribble. College basketball is a guard's game. I hope Hurley starts to recruit more guys in this mold. One interesting thing in the article is Bill Self talks about the one issue with 2 lead guards is guarding the other team with 2 small guards. I like that Castle is a taller lead guard so maybe pairing him with Diggins will work well. Can they both shoot from outside? I hope so. The article has a list of recent teams who won the national championship with 2 lead guards. 2014 with Shabazz and Boatright are in there. [I]The NCAA Tournament used to be dominated by the best big men in the sport. But while having an elite big man certainly helps, for better or worse, the postseason has more recently been driven by guard play. Tempo slows over the course of the season, often dipping during conference play and even more during March. That puts a premium on teams that can make the most of fewer possessions with efficient ball-handling, getting their teams into the right positions and taking advantage of the fewer transition opportunities and shooting.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/march-madness-bracket-2022-having-two-lead-guards-on-the-floor-can-assist-teams-on-ncaa-tournament-title-runs/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
