I'm not an expert, but shooting is only a part of what I think MY wants...

in a "3." MY's two wings are essentially bookend players with similar skillsets. Add the fact that the point guard is more of a combo guard type, both wings need to have guard type skills - able to handle the ball, drive the ball to the basket from as far out as the 3-point line, and be able cut and shoot curling off screens (not just catch and shoot).

I think that means MY will always lean towards 6'5" guards at the 3 vs. 6'7" forwards (even if they can shoot). That will continue to be a challenge being "undersized" at the position, but I think it's a trade-off I can live with.

I think Maddox is absolutely the prototypical "3" in MY's offensive system.

As Zeke said below, Reid is 5 all the way -- GCHokie34 04/20/2022 3:35PM

If GC is skeptical here -- Rev.Zeke Vodka 04/20/2022 10:25PM

Reid is a 5 only ** -- Rev.Zeke Vodka 04/20/2022 3:09PM

Not GC, but I would say 100% NO on Reid ... -- vt90 04/20/2022 11:20AM

Thx for reminding me that you have to look at defensive fits for a position -- vtbball80 04/20/2022 3:48PM

It isnt his greatest strength... -- GCHokie34 04/20/2022 3:55PM

Looks like a 3 to me, but GCHokie is the expert on CMY's system ** -- VT ChemE 1986 04/20/2022 2:00PM

What about Lynn Kidd at the 4? I'm intrigued about Kidd but I know nothing -- YBYSAIAHokie 04/20/2022 12:33PM

He is a 5 for CMY. -- VT ChemE 1986 04/20/2022 12:41PM
