[QUOTE="Liesse1997, post: 1300693, member: 627251"] I agree completely with your point #1. One of Deron's strong points was his ability to manhandle smaller guards in the post, and I think Damonte and Smith, if we get him, can really utilize that as well. Especially in 3 guard lineups like the '05 bunch, it is common to find those mismatches. Funny that this team has the blueprint of that Illini team with so many guards that identify as PGs. Especially if we land Smith. Not trying to draw comparisons by any means, but similar make up. And yes, our bigs need post work, too. Hoping Finke can thrive as a high post passer/pick & pop man and Leron continues to be a monster on the boards. I'd much rather him fall in love with being down in the paint than fall in love with the jump shot which he seemed to be doing late this season. [/QUOTE]
