I understand being short ball handlers when we basically only had Gaffney to spell RJ Cole.  On this roster, Ball is capable at least as a combo guard, and Stewart had the ball in his hands from end to end on his AAU team and would surprise you with his handle.  The early posts about Stewart were about his strength and power to back down guards like a Cumberland(?), from Cincinati did.   Even though he had the height and weight to play forward, like Castle, I thought based on his AAU play, he projected more as a bully big guard.  Then he cut his hair and changed his body before he arrived at UConn.  The slimmer, faster, stronger, Stewart seems to have settled in as a power forward, but I doubt his backcourt capabilities have vanished.  With that said, I prefer 3.  Center-Reed, Knockdown Shooter forward or guard, and a 6'4 or bigger guard with >80% FT.  I'm giving Roumoglou the chance to give us deep shooting rather than absolutely needing 2 more deadly snipers.  I also think Ross is very capable of a positive surprise because he is very active.  He is capable of finishing everything he wasn't able to this year.
