It didn't matter who we had coming in to play the three last season. Josh was sticking to his 4 senior guards and keeping 3 of them on the court no matter what. He even said so at his end of season press conference and he knows it wasn't his best move.

If Wiggins would have been on this team last season he would have only played at the 4. Same with any other SF in the college game.

Iverson will be great for us whether that be being a solid 5-6 PPG off the bench guy or if he turns into an absolute stud. Whatever he does I'm looking forward to seeing the kid play and get more minutes.

I agree, it's just that I won't second guess decisions made in the heat of the moment. Like everybody else, I wish Iverson and the others could have gotten more PT, and maybe I would have done things differently, but it is what it is and I think the kid may be great now that he will get to play real minutes.

At his age if he had the skillset to be "great" on the perimeter we would have seen more of him last year. If he was a better option than was on the floor last year he would have got the minutes, plain and simple. It amazes me that some think he is a guard or wing. Those that see him as a pg or 2.. I really, really don't get that.

He is a mismatch at the four on the perimeter and if he forms any kind of post game he is a mismatch at the 3 in the post. Defensively I can't really say but he does seem to rebound well.
