Call him whatever you want but he does bring the ball up against the press, can handle the ball like a point guard, played point guard in high school, is a very good passer and guards guards a lot. So if he is not a guard he does a lot of things guards do. So yeah he is a three that can probably play the 1-4. Whatever he is, he will be a stud.

No, you want whoever is in position to make that shot and has the best look, you should trust each of your teammates even if you're the guy, that's buying into TEAM basketball, it's a TEAM sport. Naji was amazing last year at hitting that Villanova style game winner, but it doesn't mean that's the only person to have that shot. I commend Scruggs, Johnson, Kunkel whoever else, in having the mindset to trust the teammate with the best look to knock it down.

“Past performance is no guarantee of future success.”
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
There’s a lot of different ways to look at things like this. MJ always said that he missed more last second shots than almost anyone else ever took, even though he is famous for taking them and making them. But I’ll take an open shot over a forced shot any day. The odds are that someone shooting an open shot is more likely to make it, than someone shooting a forced shot. No matter when it occurs in the game. The key for me is more along the lines of who is taking that shot. X is fortunate enough THIS year to have multiple players that can take, and more importantly make, shots from the outside. I’m happy to see that A) his teammates trusted him enough to throw him the ball, and B) that Jones had the confidence to take the shot when given the opportunity. Great players elevate their game when the pressure mounts, lesser players shrink from it. I think Jones has a chance to be a great player. In fact, I think that all 3 of the freshman trio have a good chance to have great careers at X and am excited to see what they do over the rest of this year, and the next 4. I’d trust any of them to take a shot with the game on the line.Last edited by XUGRAD80; 01-14-2021 at 10:15 AM.

"Just like he envisioned, when Jordan caught the ball on the left wing and made a move on his defender, Bryon Russell, Stockton leaked over to help. After Jordan pump-faked and stepped through the double-team, he found Kerr, Stockton’s original assignment, wide-open at the top of the key. Kerr corralled the pass and let fly a 17-foot jumper, which swished through the net to give the Bulls an 88-86 lead with five seconds left."
If Jordan would make a pass, Scruggs should make a pass.
