Can definitely see what hes trying to do. The year Kentucky killed us he talked about it. He wants that top to bottom length, athletic ability. A true 2 guard and a pure shooter away from a legitimate contender nationally next year and beyond. Assuming out 2 point guards keep improving. Our 2 power bigs, big guards, and load it seems of 6'7 guys who can run and do different things, on paper at least, that close to possibly being special

A ton of lineup flexibility on both ends of the floor.

Length with speed, athletic ability high motors, long arms for defense, and 2 man beasts inside. I know 3s aren't everything but even Duke struggled if reddish was off because of lack of it and they had Zion and barrett. The heck with our best 5 isnt and good but best 10 is, were about to be able to say our best 5 is right with yours and our entire lineup can play. Here's to everybody behaving and zero attrition

Positionless basketball.
The way the game is going.
Need 2-3 players like Jermaine Haley.
6-6 or 6-7 guys that have huge wingspans

We already had that team, Desean Butler, Wellington Smith, Devin Ebanks, Kevin Jones, John Flowers, Cam Thoroughman. Deniz Kilicli, Truck Bryant... Awesome team.

Devin Ebanks team was like that. Long & athletic. Switched all picks. Really hard to score on us. Got long arms in the passing lanes.
