Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3167527, member: 2117"] I understand having an optimistic outlook for your future PG but she doesnt have to be an upgrade from Holmes for Mississippi State to be excellent. Holmes wasnt spectacular but you dont want a spectacular player at PG, you want someone who will make good decisions, control pace of play, run the offense and put your team in a good position to score. Holmes did that perfectly for Vic. She was basically Morgan William 2.0 in that regard, hence why there was no drop off in PG play last year. And Holmes lacked an outside shot but she was the reason Mississippi State hung around as long as they did against Oregon. She hit her midrange jumpers and put teammates in a position to score. Do you really think Taylor would've led MSU to 84 points that game? Or put up 15 points, 13 assists and no turnovers? And I'm not sure how you figure a slew of wings are going to handle a lot of PG duties. What duties are you referring to? The defense wasnt as good last year as a whole but they didnt routinely give up 80 points. It happened 3 times in 36 games. Mississippi State will still have a strong roster next year, but on paper the PG spot is the biggest weakness I see since Taylor hasnt resembled the low error/highly efficient PG prototype that Vic has relied upon with William and Holmes the last 4 years, and I dont see anyone on the roster prepped to step into that role. I'd love to see Taylor prove me wrong but right now I just dont see it. [/QUOTE]
