I keep seeing people say we have too many guards. First of all Key is basically replacing Bailey. Second of all Edwards is basically replacing Q. So that’s about a push on guards. Then you’re going to have Yuri replacing Chandler when he commits. Then that’s about the same amount of guards as last years team. Also, Key is not a point guard. He can play there in a pinch but he’s not a PG. Your PGs are Yuri and Zakai. We have the same core as last years team and we are adding good pieces, so if you’re saying we are going to finish worst… then you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Chandler was great for us and by the end of the season he was exceeding my expectations however, he wasn’t even selected all SEC. As much as I liked his game, I’m going to believe the coaches know more about how good he was verses my fandom. JMOWe are not adding anything remotely close to Chandler. He was arguably the best point guard in the country.
This team, if it stays healthy, could be a better team come March than this last year’s team was. A) ON, especially with another year of development, gives us an inside scoring threat that they lacked after his injury; B) Aidoo will develop. So our inside game should be far superior to what it was; C) Collins, if Tennessee lands him, isn’t Chandler, but does a lot to mitigate that loss. He was the nation’s assist leader; D) everyone else will have another year of development. JJJ could very well be a superstar; E) Key could be a guy who, when others go cold from outside, ignites the outside shooting. Could’ve used that against Michigan.
