– Interesting take from an NBA scout who told me during the Xavier
game he thinks Donovan should re-think his strategy of recruiting
scoring point guards. The scout said he would start 17-year-old
freshman Scottie Wilbekin at point guard, while having Boynton and
Erving Walker split time at shooting guard. “They’d both be gone in
a year,” the scout said with a laugh. “But that’s what I’d do.”
This isn't much of an interesting take, it seems obvious to me.
When your 5' 8" guard refuses to play point, and the only shot in his
arsenal is an NBA 3 coming off of a double screen, he is a liability
on the floor. He should be on the bench, backing up Boynton.
I have been very impressed with Wilbekin, and he will only improve.
