when it comes to Neo, we can't expect him to morph into whats best for VT

his # 1 focus is to show off skills that will translate to the NBA. He could try and back down small guards and play with back to the basketball more but that's not what he is here for. it's not a rant against him or a slight towards him cause the staff knew the conditions of his arrival and he is such a talent to have on the floor the best hope to become a really good team is he learns to mesh his assist abilities into the lineup / roster. If all fairness we have only played 6-8 games with all the pieces at once? 1/4 of the time he is on the court with Hammond is on the bench. That being said we are about to hit a stretch of two games a week that will help them mess in my belief. Getting Tobi back might be his secret combo for the pick and roll he likes.

Not every point guard has Neo to defend. We've seen wings on him since

I wish they would use him like Mutts used to facilitate.
