I dont know about being thin at the 3?!!

There's 40 minutes available and you have Edwards, McRae, Q, Richardson all competing there for minutes.

Reese gives us length and defense. I think if we get a solid 12 min out of him we will be solid. McRae cannot play the three... Thats when we will be hurting

In our offense the 2 and the 3 are pretty much interchangeable on offense, and he played great defense on the wing for the majority of the time going down the stretch and was a huge reason we went on that late year run in the SEC... I'm confused why he can't play the 3

I think all of the players competing for Cam Tatum's role are capable of giving us what Tatum brought, stat-wise. I think Maymon, Golden, and Stokes will more than make up for the leadership role of Tatum. Which one of those guys will take the reigns is anyone's guess. I know BTNO is high on Edwards, a lot of people think Q will step up, it very well could be Reese. Who knows who will win that battle, but it is without doubt the biggest battle we will have to iron out before the season starts. It's the only question mark on our team IMO, but I am confident in the players we have to at the least be a capable fill in til the 2013 class gets here. lol

Reese also can't throw the ball into the ocean, how do you know Reese can guard the 3, when has he proven that?

Like I said, if Reese is seeing significant minutes(and yea 12 minutes is significant) then that's not a good sign for us.

And were are you getting McRae cannot play the 3? For starters the 2&3 are completely interchangeable in Martin's motion offense, the difference comes on defense. McRae is a much better defender at the 3 than the 2, a lot of guys at the 2 are just too quick for Jordan. Really not sure where you're getting he can't play the 3 from, he spent a lot of his time there last year.

I guess we will just have to see. Either way, I trust Cuonzo and I think we will know a lot about this team when they get back from Italy

Well seeing as how Reese won't play in Italy we won't know anything new about him.
