I want Rod to play the 2 so bad. Can you imagine Angle (sorry dorks), Rod, Nino, Gip and JO? Man, we'd be undefeated.

Discount everything I said. Sorry to waste everyone's time.

Why can't Rod play 2?  Other teams use 2 small guards and it's thought he can't guard them?

[catzacker]

I think oscar's "commitment" to his offense is overplayed by goEMAW. He implements ball screens and its been plenty effective at creating good shots since the Gonzaga game.

JMHO

we knew we would be having this conversation.

There was one reference to oscar's commitment to his offense. Before we get too off the rails with a strawman, I think zackers larger point is that we have a lot more bigs who can give productive minutes but oscar hasn't and won't play 2 of them together.

This.  The idea that "ah, eff it, I only got room for one big in my offense" is bullshit.  Especially considering JO's defensive presence. 

I actually agree that oscar is runningsome sets/action for rodney which only highlights the fact that he needs to tweak it even more to utilize JO's  (and angel's) skill set.

Or we can continue to ask Nino to play out of his ass game in and game out.

i think williams can be fine at the 3, but not with mcgruder at the 2.  can't play the both of them together unless one is the 4.  same with southie.

Defense would be okay, offense would be ugly and turnovers would double. At least.

oscar isn't asking anyone to play out of his ass game in and game out, remember?

Can Shane play 2 with Rod at 3 (semantics) and 2 real bigs at 4 & 5?

I liked having 1.5 PGs and a smaller 3 when we had Denis & Jake, but Sprads is no Jake.  I've actually heard he's Adam James.

I suppose its possible, but you, I, and every other K-State fan knows Sprads is going to play 30+ minutes (probably 35+) every game.

no.  i know it's hard to believe, but spradling is actually a better 2 than southie.  a better bball player even.

Sprads' health is infringing on my happiness.

Funny because Will was recruited as a 2 but Shane was recruited as a 1.  When Shane was a freshman his problem handling the ball was his crazy high dribble.  Wonder if he has improved his handle at all or if the thought of him handling the ball was completely abandoned by Frank at some point.

"My style of play is versatile. I can play the point guard spot, the shooting guard spot or I can play small forward. I like to play a fast up tempo type of game."

Since we're talking about guards now I find it funny that Will doesn't bring the ball up at all anymore, like ever.  Win for Shannon.

martin had a destructive love affair with tall guards.  small guards were so good to him, but he just couldn't stay away from those long sons of bitches.

[kitten_mittons]

I have dreams that we'll run out there starting a couple of 6'4"+ guards someday. I also want them to be good.

And damn, I love this.

Holy crap this is amazing.

We were driving back from Phoenix so I had to listen to the game. Bench Shane is wonderful

This whole time I thought Foster was an SG. ESPN and Rivals have him listed as a PG. This makes me very excited.

He will play off the ball for us.  I see him and angel together after sprads, then Thomas into angels spot the next season.
