and also at creating his own shot. We could play him at 1, 2, or 3. He would have started here and would have gotten a ton of minutes. Having 3 guys that can handle the ball and shoot at a high clip on the perimeter would have made this team extremely difficult to defend. And while the 1 in CMY's offense brings the ball up the court and initiates the set, this system really relies on ball movement and de-emphasizes the traditional point guard. And finally, Pedulla struggled against the press at times last year. So, we may have even been better off with Rice bringing it up the court anyway. I categorically disagree. Rice's skill set - mainly the ability to create - has been the one missing piece from Young's lineups. We had it with Aluma and to certain degree with Mutts, and Pedulla tried to be that guy, but we haven't had a guard like Rice. His skill would open things up all over the floor.
