Disclaimer, by guards I am including Hunt, Tyne, GW3, and B. Artis
For now I would categorize guys that guys like Apostolos, Roche and even Tanner more as wings. The four above I see as guys that can act as primary ball handler, and guard quick guards on the opposition.
I was excited to have Tyne and Hunt back. Really like what they bring to the table, with defense, intensity, ball handling. Both aggressive and fearless. Both can score the ball. However neither has yet been a real big time scorer at this level yet. Hunt exceeded my expectations this past season, and shot a career best 38.6%. Tyne also exceeded expectations, as a true freshman, reclass backwards at that, he came in and looked like he belonged, but again - offense
not that consistent yet.
Really nice job to add two more guys into this rotation. B. Artis looks like a proven commodity to me, can hit shots, quick, can make plays for other guys. GW3 - probably the most interesting player of the group. Super high ceiling guy. Can do a little of everything - but has yet to do it or have the opportunity at the college level. As others have said, likely one of the most celebrated guys we have recruited - based on high school rankings. I love the possibilities of this group. I kind of feel like the floor is that B. Artis and Hunt play big minutes and are very good A10 players. Ceiling is that GW3 steps in and has a Jordan King like year and Hunt and B. Artis play as well as last season, and Tyne adds consistency with his shot. I think if all play well there are minutes to go around, and with GW3's size and athleticism I could very well see some rotations with 3 of the 4 on the court for stretches. Exciting outlook for our backcourt next season.
