    Scruggs is considered to be more of a PG than Tandy is. Not sure if that changes anything in this discussion, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I think you take the best grad transfer shooter available, no matter what position (highly doubt it'd be at the 5 spot though). This team needs help beyond the arc next season. Welage (and Castlin) are gone and it'd be naïve to expect huge things from the freshman. Keep in mind that the staff tried (and failed) to add another guard/shooter to this year's roster.

    You are not going to bring in a grad transfer center; you would then have 5 guys for one position group. I see one or two guys leaving at the end of the year as well. You can likely guess who the candidates are. Also Tandy and Bishop are known as scorers, but they aren't likely 40% plus shooters. We will look to add a face-up guy that can stroke it.

    Your own logic doesn't make any sense. If you bring in a shooter, you would have 5 guys for one position group? A lot will happen between now and the middle of next year when Steele will have to make a decision.......

    I'd like to be confident of having one shooter before I was so sure we're going to have 4.

    Shooter isn't a position, it's a capability. Next year's team badly needs a 6'6/6'7ish shooter who plays the 3/4.

    I thought the same thing about Redford and Lyons when X pursued Holloway.

    And after we got Tu Redford tore up his knee and Lyons went to Tuscon.

    makes more sense but saying "shooter" generally means SG

    I'm saying that I think at least one guy who was billed as a shooter currently on the roster will not be on the roster next year. Also, in the age of positionless basketball a shooter can be anyone not at the center spot, sans Kerem Kanter.
