His guard skills may come along as he gets more real time experience and he may be able to slide further towards the 3 or possibly the 2. But he's long, tenacious on the offensive boards, a sneaky good defender in the post and brings matchup issues on the o-end.

The most important thing is that he buys into this role.

It seems that he is, in print anyway. His guard skills should come in handy finishing on the break. I can't imagine that many 4's will be able to outrun him or stay in front of him when he is finishing.

I had a few words with a coach who was really familiar with Pookie from the FL AAU. Really praised the system that Pookie came up in at Dr. Phillips and said that in a few years Pookie will be an all-conference PG. I've got high hopes.

The encouraging thing is that Pookie is a year older than other freshmen. It is reasonable to assume that if he went to prep school, he would have gone from a fringe top 100 recruit to somewhere in the 50-75 range. Anderson and Dozier were ranked similarly in their junior seasons and they had pretty good freshman seasons.

Damn I'm hungover but I actually agree with this assessment. Markel needs to be a Bobby Parks type as well. Glue guy
