Dude I love playing 3 guards. I think the best spot for Alleyne is at the 3. I don’t think he is good enough, in combination with the roster we have, to start him there over the other wings. If one of them starts at the 4 I would think that 100% means it’s Alleyne at the 3. My point is I don’t think he starts and pushes both to the bench.RJ Luis, who has one year of college ball at UMASS is not coming into the Big East and starting over Alleyne who has 92 career starts - all in P5 conferences - and just won a national championship.
Glenn Taylor, who is a slashing wing and not a good 3-point shooter is also not staring over arguably our best 3-point shooter. Dingle and Jenkins need someone to drive and dish to who can knock down an outside jumper - that’s not Taylor’s game.
I’ve yet to read a reasonable argument as to why both these players should start over Alleyne, other than some hangup that we must start one of them because Alleyne is not a SF and you must start one PG, one SG, one SF, one PF, one C.
Nahiem has never once averaged 3 rebounds a game. Never once averaged 2 assists a game and never once shot 40% from the field. Taylor and Luis have better Rebounding rate. Better Assist rate. Better steal rate. Better true shooting % and are bigger and more athletic than Nahiem. Other than that I have no points.
