Don't see the point in getting into semantics about this. Mike Bothwell was recruited out of high school as a shooting guard. He brought the ball down the court hundreds of times and knew how to dribble and handle the ball. With FU's Princeton style/position-less way of play, it's really just guards and forwards. Just take care of the ball. With that being said, 1000% need another guard that can be a floor general and finding the open guy as I bet PJay will be taking a lot of shots.

The semantics? LOL
Nick Anderson is a shooter, not a ball handler, he will not be bringing the ball up the court very much if at all like MIKE BOTHWELL (who had good handles), it's pretty simple...
So yeah we need another PG, that's why I am sure we are after Samage Teel hard amongst others...

yep there are still good players and PGs going into the portal. U gotta think they if they xfer its to be the starting PG. Out of 330 D1 teams, lets say that 150 of them are good enough for them to xfer to. Of those 150, the majoriy have their PG already. Thats leaves many transfer PG left for a few open slots.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 11:58 amPaladinPower wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 10:27 amDon't see the point in getting into semantics about this.

Totally agree about needing another guard and floor general. I actually wrote that in the post if you read it. You're just very hung up on a label of shooting guard, which Bothwell was also listed as. Just trying to say it's not as if PJay is the only one capable of dribbling a ball like you're trying to suggest in the thread. They'll get another guard, hopefully two.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 11:58 amPaladinPower wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 10:27 amDon't see the point in getting into semantics about this.

It's got nothing to do with the label shooting guard and everything to do with the fact he is a shooter...
You can't compare Bothwell to Anderson, two very different players...
Did frontcourt player Jalen Slawson bring the ball up for us some, yep!
Did frontcourt player Hien bring the ball up for us, not really!
Everything is not created equal in the grand scheme as we all know and the offense will need to adjust every year accordingly...
Yes we agree we need a guard let's leave it at that, hopefully we find a good one... The main 2 reason's we need another proven guard is #1 depth, and #2 if we don't pressing teams are going to kill us lol...

Slawson was a point forward who got drafted into the NBA! Bothwell is a pro and we don't know what NA really is other than a sharpshooter because his highlights are just 3s. Which is awesome for FU. But I guarantee a D1 GUARD can DRIBBLE if he needed to and that's all I'm saying.Re: Roster Rebuild...

And we go on and on and on lol...
The comparison was obviously made to illustrate a point...
Comparing Anderson to Bothwell is an equally unfair comparison... (one is catch and shoot while the other was a playmaker)
Yes we know NA can dribble a basketball, however I am talking about skilled BALL HANDLES that is still a need for us
