We won't be running the same offense this season. Buzz wants to put at least four players on the court who have enough offensive skill to handle, shoot and pass at least decently well. He's all about versatility on both ends of the court. That takes some of the load off the PG.

Also, this latest version of the Va Tech team ran a lot of the offense thru the high post. I'm not sure how much we can do that unless we land Blackshear, but the bigger point is that we aren't likely to be putting all of our handling and initiating responsibilities on one guy- by design not just personnel.

If Buzz was convinced he needed another pure PG, we would have pushed more for Wheeler IMO.

Today's game doesn't necessarily have set positions. Better with 4 really good handles that don't make TOs rather than a single A++ handle and 4 crappy handles.


the demise of the true big man is leading to the demise of the true pg. Nearly everyone out there can dribble and shoot now.
