You can see how we don't play that well when he's out. None of Shaver's players were true #1 point guards, but I still think Owens would have been great this year.

Also, Ayesa isn't close to an even trade for Owens or Milon. Maybe as he improves he can be Burchfield 2.0. He's a spot up sharp shooter. I'm going to provide a statistic that will never be broken in the history of Tribe basketball. Ayesa played in 29 games this season and played 436 minutes (15 per game). HE SHOT ZERO FREE THROWS THIS YEAR.....ZERO.

Hamilton would never even play with the old Shaver bunch, and he starts for us. The reality is that we have two dominant big men who would drive success pretty much anywhere with three complementary players on the court.

Hamilton's play style probably wouldn't work well with Shaver, but I think he's a pretty solid player. Not a great shooter or someone who generates a ton of offensive opportunities, but he plays hard on defense and has good awareness on offense.
