how do I explain this crap to my kids?

Kids: where did Cam Carter go?
Me: he left in the portal
Kids: when he could have stayed and been a KSU Wildcat for another season?
Me: ..... umm, yeah, no... uh....

surprised to hear

love cam the dude, hopefully he finds what he’s looking for- i’m guessing this is a move to get closer to louisiana?

RJ is our 2 unless we have a super secret plan I am unaware of.  I think a good 2 is one of our top 2 priorities in the portal.
is this a bit that you’re doing?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

I am pretty old and pretty removed from having actually played basketball, but when I played the 2 was a shooting guard. So, if that is still accurate, it is 100% a high priority for us.

i can assure you that I take no solace in mocking your bbiq.  maybe you just think the 2’s on this roster are incapable of playing in this league?

PG and 4, highest priority and impossible to be anything else based on today’s roster.

RJ D2 should both be playing their minutes at the 2 next year and finister as well.

The only person on the roster that resembles a 2 is RJ and he got less than 10 minutes a game on an NIT squad.

Didn't see Cam leaving. He was kind of frustrating the last month of the season, but was hoping he could smooth out his rough spots and give us solid senior leadership next year. Oh well. life in the portal age.

so the rest of our guards are point guards? that’s something to consider, I guess.
D2 is a PG, but not ready for the minutes

the other guards, including TP, were two’s attempting to play the one.  i guess that you could say they’re “shoot first point guards”, but even that’s a giant stretch.

this is all my jmo of course  but arguing the difference between who’s a one versus a two is really just noise.

whatever you want to call it, we need someone who can handle the ball pressure and run the offense.  TP was not that guy in any way.  he is a catch and shoot dude, as are the rest of them.  any of our guys can chuck the ball up at a good enough pace when and if they’re fed the ball in the offense.

it’s hard for me to believe that anyone who watched this team this season would conclude that we what we need most is anything but a point guard, but different strokes

Finister- Wing? Can't shoot beyond 5 feet so not sure.

in summary, not having an experienced point guard is less of a concern for our friends here than having young but experienced guards who can play the two.

since most 1’s can play the two, but most two’s can’t play the one, this logic is solid AF.

this type of hard hitting take is why I paid the big bucks to join goemaws founders club

I'm not a 'clams level expert, but ideally you want to be able to play 1-3 interchangeably. I also agree with clams that it's kind of silly to rigidly box players into positions 1-3.

Hopefully, we won't whiff on a whole bunch of portal guards like we did last year.
