[QUOTE="gt24, post: 784259, member: 538"] Agree about Kyle! I see him as a more traditional/old-school PG who creates for others, whereas so many modern PGs are scorers aka "lead guards" or "combo guards". I think Kyle could be great with 2 strong shooters at the other guard spots. I "conjecture" Kyle, Mike, Deebo as a strong 3-guard lineup. I love how Kyle pushes tempo and attacks to create for others in transition and secondary break situations. As for Khalid, he is shooting 25% this year from 3 and many many of those 3s were ideal weakside catch-and-shoot 3s in which he was not rushed. He was/is open very frequently for a reason. I don't think "rope" is the issue. And I agree with Pastner letting him continue to launch kickout 3s. If he doesn't, the issue gets magnified even more this year. And to your point, because he is allowed to continue shooting despite 25% stat, Khalid has hit a *few* big 3s this season. I'm very interested to see if Khalid remains the starter in the ACC and NCAA tourneys, or if Pastner mixes/matches Bubba and Khalid based on opponent matchups. Bubba gives us better shooting and thus better spacing on offense. Khalid obviously more size/length on the defensive end against some teams/matchups. A lot of player development will be needed this offseason with 4 senior starters leaving (potentially). Any team losing 4 senior starters would be in a similar situation needing role players or younger players to further develop their game in offseason. Obviously many GT fans focusing on: will Reveno be able to develop Saba/Howard/Meka. I would argue that equally important (or 1b) is: can Khalid become a respectable 3pt shooter (33%? 35%?) that keeps defenses honest.

You and I agree that Khalid is ripe for shooting improvement and seems like the kind of player who will put in the work to make those strides.
