    I have no clue if Anderson can play the point well or not. But I know that Claude was fairly trustworthy as a play maker.

    Those other dudes are all more shooting guards. We need a distributor and someone who can set up others in pressure situations.
    My sense is that the team will be built around defense first. That means length, quickness and athleticism on the defensive end. Offensively, it’s just “go”. I think Anderson fits defensively because I’ve heard he’s kinda freakish athletically.

    Claude doesn’t fit the defensive mold very well.

    I actually recall Claude being a pretty good defender, but his last season here did cause me to drink alot, so my memory could be a little hazy

    Would have to think the latest signing is a project and a redshirt candidate.

    YUP but with some really good upside. Sounds like he is pretty skilled. I love the signing b/c he's likely pretty darn cheap and worth the risk.

    It will be imperative Pitino retains the majority of the young guys.........so that in year 2 we reap the rewards. I know this is obvious, but I like the strategy a hell of a lot better than Millers (at least for the time being)

    I watched USC some, just some), this season. His defense tailed off a bit and he was an offensive black hole when they needed him most. I watched him commit end game mistakes more than a few times. I think he is a good player, I also believe he has some confidence issues. I think he would be great as an option and not the main option.

    I think we would have been a better team last year with Claude instead of Foster. Foster was fine. Not great and kinda passive on offense. Generally a catch and shoot guy. What we didn’t have last year is what Claude flourished at…..attacking the rim off the dribble. And getting to the line a lot.

    Is Dieonte Miles the exception to the rule? Height isn’t everything.

    I agree but I guess Pitino sees things differently.

    To be fair, I'd be pissed too if I were Claude seeing Rodney Rice getting $3mil while you're at $500k or whatever, even if it isn't about the money. Rodney Rice is pretty good, but man, $3mil good??

    I'd have to think they went to Claude with a better number this year. Likely nowhere near the 3 of course.
