His vision and assist numbers were fine for a 2G playing alongside 2 point guards for most of the season. He's a shooter, not a slasher (even though he finished decently well around the rim last year for his height... much, much better than Gilbert for example). That's okay. We have and had other slashers. To be an elite 2G, yeah maybe you have to be able to do those things at a high level. To be a competent starting 2G for a tournament team from the American, he doesn't need to be elite at those things if he shoots 40% from 3 on a good volume and rebounds the heck out of the ball and draws fouls when he does slash.

He's not going to be here when we push for the Sweet 16 the following year, so I'm not going to hold him to championship 2G standards when the rest of the team this year won't be ready. If Hurley decides he wants to play/start the guys this year that will still be here next year, that's a totally fair choice and maybe even the right one. But VItal will definitely be one of our 5 best players this upcoming year.
