Hey, the clips on the movie you two got coming out fit right into your comments. Go play in your couch fort boys.
Still most concerned about the 3 spot.
I have absolutely no idea what this means.
Well, when you put it that way...As many have pointed out Lil Dre got into foul trouble early which effected his ability to attack on both O & D. Also pointed out here is that Lil Dre's game is about being quicker/faster than his opponent is stronger than him. In this game, Lil Dre faced not one, but two guards who were just as quick/fast as he was & both were stronger. That won't happen again until we get deep in the tournament.
Then add in Mason. He's exactly what I thought he would be. Mature beyond his years, aggressive, cocky, almost to a fault. He's already our second best ball handler & that will make the PG position so much stronger once he gets a bit of experience. It'll allow Lil Dre to continue to play aggressive, even when he's in foul trouble because we'll still have Mason & Dre Hollins to handle the ball.
Dre Hollins is about the best 3rd ball handler a team could ever ask for. He's not super athletic, not a natural PG, etc. but he's a very solid ball handler, with tons of PG experience at the B1G level.
3 solid ball handlers at the PG position not only doesn't have me concerned, but actually has me feeling the best I've felt about the position in years. Especially considering that over the past 5 years we've had to trust Blake Hoffarber, Julian Welch & Maverick Ahanmisi to bring the ball up court.
Perhaps. He is a game changing player and he was the major reason for our success last year. I don't think it's unreasonable to be concerned after watching him sleep walk through a scrimmage, ex-game and a major game on national TV. In all three he's looked dis-interested.
Between Mathieu, Dre, and Mason, our PG situation is in as good of shape I as I have ever seen.
Our fears have been confirmed, over and over again.
Yep. Hard not to like our options there. All 3 bring something a little different to the table. Only concern (vs. good teams) is their lack of size.
Minnesota coach Richard Pitino was surprised Mathieu didn't get invited to any elite point guard camps this summer, including one that NBA all-star Chris Paul held recently. Hollins was there last year.
"I was kind of mad; I'm not going to lie," Mathieu said. "I was really mad because when it comes to the best point guards in the country, I think I'm in that race. But I'm still nobody. I still have to make a name for myself. I'm going to go out there and play the same way I did and try to be as aggressive as possible and try to make my team better."
