He has above average strength for a PG

You need either quickness or strength, preferably both (but those PGs aren't coming to VT). He tries to string too many moves together. Needs to make one move and go, use his strength to muscle by the defender. Attack the open shoulder to get past, attack the closed shoulder to draw fouls. Also needs to get lower when he makes his move (that's why defenders get tip aways at times). Also doesn't use a space dribble -- pull back or back dribble to create space. All these are technique points that should have been taught to him by now. He does have good ball handling skills. Strong fast dribble, and he's not loose with the ball.

Rech certainly didn't fare well in limited mins against similar teams....

I'm less concerned with the turnovers than the fact that this team hasn't..

Interesting point about how well we'll respond to pressure

Reichsteiner is a good ball handler just lacks confidence

Good points. Thanks for the analysis. **

At this point it would be coaching malfeasance not to throw presses, traps
Vippie1 11/13/24 11:06 AM ET
I think we will see some of both **

True. Lawal, Hammond & Johnson could thrive in open court type
hokiepro 11/13/24 09:10 AM ET
They could, if MY lets them.

I think they will take what they can get
