Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5117622, member: 1268"] Noticed the same - lost his assignment multiple times defensively. I’d agree that he’s also better served learning in year 1, while acclimating another small guard in AM. If Ross/Solo can show a strong enough handle to run the top, would rather see them develop the “big” lineup in preparation for March. You hear Hurley often appreciating the advantages of big guards, especially defensively as part of creating mismatches. It’s how he recruited this last cycle. Without a Steph and a Clingan have to find those mismatches in other ways. Part of me thinks he also might be anticipating a Duke showdown in the East regional come March, and wants to be ready for their enormous starting 5. AM still feels like more of an experiment right now than a sure thing. The backup to him not getting there is the big lineup vs relying on a freshman at PG. You have to be pretty special to play massive minutes as a freshman PG in this program right now. [/QUOTE]
