Available Lead Guards

The Euro players are so hard to judge. Consider our own “Lefty”. Right now the game looked way too fast for him. He rushed his shots. At times he looked like he was moving in Slo Mo. Don’t get me wrong I still have high hopes for him but it takes TIME. Gambling on another kid seems like more of a long range move than next season guy.
 
You'd think this whole situation would look very attractive for Acaden Lewis. Obviously we don't want to be relying on a freshman at point but he should see a clear path to potentially playing a lot or even starting if the offense is somewhat disjointed without any true point guards on the floor.
I sense his camp priced him over what SJ was willing to pay.

I thought the exact opposite of Lefty. I thought he looked extremely comfortable out there and the game was not too big for him. He gave us some real solid minutes down the stretch of the season.

Its just that our last memory of him was being ice cold vs arkansas.

Lefty needs to hit the jump rope all offseason season and work on foot speed. If he can keep big east guards in front of him, he will be a great addition off the bench next year.

For the season he shot 6 of 26 from 3. That’s a 23.1%. From the field he was 33%. (13 of 39). That is more than just the Arkansas game.

That is all a VERY small sample But I think he’s a better shooter than that. He was also a step slow on defense.

I expect him to make a significant improvement as he adjusts.
