Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4142787, member: 271"] This is the issue. Same thing happened last year. I get concerned because the staff should see that Diggins has to be thrown into the fire. We desperately need a pure pg. I knew Gaffney wasn’t a pure pg from his high school tape and debated it with people here repeatedly. It was obvious that any reference to him as a PG was just to make him a more sought after recruit. Most likely, he took that approach because he’s a little small for the wing. The staff should have known they needed another PG and that Gaffney was not it. Dan needs to stop relying on combo guards to play the point. It just won’t work most of the time. Cole is a small shooting guard. He definitely has some PG skills. He makes some really nice passes off the pick and roll. He just doesn’t have the athleticism to break down the D and drive consistently nor is he good at penetrating and distributing in the lane. [/QUOTE]
