Point guard critical in Groce's system

"Any time you talk about our system," he said, "it starts with great point guard play.."
"From a personality standpoint, we look for guys that are in attack mode," he continued. "And we look for guys that are a connector, not a divider. They have to understand their job is to connect the team: 'Yes, I have the ability to score if I need to, but I also understand my job is to connect the team.' He has to be able to bring the team together.
"When you put all those things together, that's why I'm probably really picky about who we have at that particular position."
