Message: [QUOTE="SwampYankee, post: 4758265, member: 12490"] Newton's a really nice player and getting him back is definitely a net positive. That said, I've rewatched the SDSU game a couple of times (as I'm sure many of us have) and I can't really buy into this narrative. Yes, love the rebounding and he was great from the line, but it's hard to look past the 4 assists to 5 turnovers from ostensibly your lead guard. He definitely scored the ball, but none were really momentum shifters in my view, and 6 points came after the Hawkins three that essentially ended the game. I do think he makes a jump though, particularly if Castle allows him to play off ball more. I just don't think our ceiling is where you want it to be if Newton turns out to be our "best" player.
