Message: [QUOTE="runner11, post: 4308231, member: 12003"] We need 2 ballhandlers, including one very good player to do what? No snark, just curious. Be a legit contender for a deep run? I think that is absolutely true. But even right now we have more ball handling than last year where we were a top 25 team. A Cole injury away from catastrophe, for sure, but still. Newton is a combo but sounds like more of natural distributor than Cole. Jackson and Hawkins will be be better with the ball in their hands, perhaps far better. Alleyne should be a wash with Gaff, at worst and possible a sizable upgrade. We will land at least one more depth guard. Some smart poster (heyadrien?) claimed that Diarra would have been the 2nd best handler on our team last year. He seems likely to be the depth add. This team is living on the edge again but I think we'll be fine either way. Likely a Castle reclass away from having a top level ceiling but I don't see that happening, or signing another stud. Maybe get lucky with a Euro or 3 star? [/QUOTE]
