OK, so I'm salivating at the thought of Dok, Silvio and Mitch on the floor at the same time. Mitch playing the wing and sliding Svi to the 2-guard with, of course, DG at the point. That's some serious height and rebounding. Also block city for opponents getting around our tall guards on the perimeter.
@SlickRockJayhawk I don't think that's happening. Not this year anyway. Probably not any year.
@SlickRockJayhawk I don't see that happening. 2 Bigs for a percentage of the game yes. I do think Mitch playing as a secondary big with Doke or Silvio / Billy would fit much better with his skills. Three bigs takes some of our better players off the floor.
I definitely see what you guys are saying. But, I would be totally glued to the TV if that line-up were to ever be given a go. I think Mitch could handle the three position with his active legs and three point shooting potential. Is he still shooting 50% from trey? Out of maybe 6 tries? :)
If Billy ever gets cleared, I can see moments where we put 3 bigs on the floor. At least one of our bigs has to present a perimeter threat, and Billy is the biggest threat from trey.
Eventually... I see Mitch polishing up his trey and becoming a real threat. He will really have to have more tools in his toolbox if he wants to attempt to make a living playing basketball.
Downvote.
I'm frustrated just thinking about it lol.
@SlickRockJayhawk We need more perimeter passing than that gives us. I would wait a long time for Doke to get those alley oops because he would be dbl teamed all the time.
Basketball is first and foremost a game of skill. It would take some odd alignment of Jupiter and Venus, and a double dose of loco weed, for Self to ever play Mitch over any of our skill players at the three spot … or foul trouble. That said, Mitch has filled in admirably and he had some big plays vs. WVU. Natural swatter. I like him much better in the four spot when we go conventional, whenever that happens.
Mitch Leadfoot can't guard the 3. It won't happen unless we're playing a team with a horrible shooter at the 3 position.
