[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 945207, member: 2299"] I am vary warry to try and take NBA concepts and translate them to the college level in an extensive manner. The dynamic of having more experienced players, having played far more game, and training it as a profession creates a very different circumstance. Look at the celtics for example Tatum - 6 years Brown - 7 years White - 6 years Smart - 9 years Brogdon - 7 years Williams - 5 years Williams - 4 years Horford - 16 years Hauser - 2 years Most of their players have more experience in the NBA than is possible to have in college, and that's playing in the neighborhood of 2-3 times more games per year and treating it as a job with a support staff that I would have to imagine is more extensive than even the most well off college program. That allows for the development of skills that otherwise isn't really possible. For instance, Horford has pretty much become the blueprint for a stretch 5 type of player you'd want in a 5 out. Through his first 8 seasons in the NBA he made a total of 21 threes. There is just more opportunity for all around development in the NBA than in college on a year to year basis and a lot greater opportunity for continuity in the NBA because no limit on eligibility. To me, the college equivalent is more likely to have one primary ball handler and two others that can handle the responsibility to some degree in case the opposing team has one great lock down defender, and then the other two players to be good enough in that regard to not have the offense stall when the ball gets to them. To have that and to keep the dynamic when it comes to subs or dealing with injuries/illness is key. I do think we need another PG. I think if we could just build a player it'd be a freshman transfer with 3 years eligibility with some amount of success. Not only to provide depth for this year but to help pre-emptively address holes in the future years. As it stands we can probably get away with Sturdy playing 33ish minutes and then 7 minutes with the collective handling things, but that means we're very vulnerable to injury/illness/foul trouble from that spot, [/QUOTE]
