    Fair amount of points being overlooked; and we need look no further than Scruggs to illustrate. Generally but applicable here All-star prep guards can find trouble defending, even with guys who seen other prep/AAU stars and held their own. Then absorbing D1 defense creeps into their total game in a bad way. Secondly and maybe more important, those prep star guards have never done one aspect of the game in their entire life; none are accomplished at moving without the ball (Scruggs biggest weakness). Before D1 the ball was always in their hands but not so much now. And even if the ball is in his hands, the idea is to see the floor--the whole floor- rather than figure out how to score yourself. Two major steps I hope he learns fast.

    About some of those "rafter" guys: it's not intended to be a knock at all but in conversations of the topics I've oft wondered just how good Byron would be without Ralph Lee and Stan Kimbrough.
    I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

    I agree. I was just responding to steel balls being in the rafters.
