Agreed. In general, PG is a position you need to shore up from a backup perspective moreso than forward. We learned that the hard way this year, and I think that's a big reason we're going after Smith. We were spoiled the previous two years with Hass a backup, plus a 3 (Dre and then Steph) who could handle the ball and play the 1 in a pinch.

If AK goes, we need another starting quality forward. If he stays, he obviously starts, and from my perspective there will be a competition between J-Stew and Mullins as the starting 3. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and are very different players, and whoever doesn't start will still play a ton. Ross will be in the role of the 2nd forward off the bench and will need to earn his minutes (basically the same as this past season).

I also think we need to bring in another 5 man. I like Reibe, but he seems to be more of a 4/5 who likes to drift to the perimeter a bit, and as a freshman will probably need to add strength. Would love to bring in a big bodied 5 man to play 10-12 minutes a game and at least be a physical presence.
