Our guards aren't stephen curry as a junior... that's hardly saying they are terrible. we're young... you don't just throw a switch with 99% of basketball talent. everyone isn't lebron... or curry for that matter.
and when people point out guard play wins in the ncaa tournament, they also add the "experienced" to the description. junior and senior guards win in the ncaa tournament.
in case you didn't notice, watson was a freshman. 8.6 ppg in 24 minutes as a freshman is EXTREMELY solid. so was mcveigh. and that was 2/3 of our backcourt that had higher end ncaa tournament talent (webster being the other and he is proof positive on how much people improve in 2 years). this isn't to say that any of our players are going to be stephen curry -- they won't be -- but jeez, give them some bloody time.
when mcveigh and watson are seniors this backcourt will be very, very good. roby in the 3 will seriously help as well. throw in jacobsen's improvement (if it happens and i feel that it will) and i'll say it -- that's a team that can make a sweet 16 run. in 2 years. even without a big.
obviously though, our backcourt will just happen to be darn near infinitely more lethal if we have some guys who can crash the boards. but at least compare apples to apples with comparisons -- the curry one is ridiculous on so many levels.
