The biggest issue or talking point now regarding our team is the backcourt.
It looks like Mali will be coming back soon which will be so important for our success this year.
Brea is getting healthy, but I think Mike needs to stay in the starting lineup at that 2 guard position and I think he should have the opportunity to play the role of lead guard as well.
This would give Kobe Elvis the opportunity to come off the bench and play his more natural role as a scorer. We need more bodies and Brea and Elvis would give us 2 more quality players to throw at opponents, especially if we play more uptempo.
We have some weakness at the point guard position on our second unit when Mali comes back and there's still some questions in the interim before he comes back.
I wasn't sure about Mike, but I've now seen enough to know he needs to be getting a lot of minutes at the 2 guard, and I think we need to hand him time at the 1 and develop him as the guy who can come in to form a one two punch with Mali. He needs to stay out of foul trouble though.
He looks like one of the most talented players in our program, although he is still inexperienced and will experience growing pains.
It will be interesting to see where Anthony Grant goes with the aforementioned players and their roles.
In my opinion, if we want to get where we want to go over the next couple of years, we need a second lead guard.
