But that comes at the opportunity cost of not having him creating open shots with as much regularity. He wouldn’t face as much pressure if he had Carey and Adams-Woods on his team because both would be able to dissect open floors and create quick shots off the bounce against 4 on 3’s. Leaving Pickett on the wing to drive (where he’s not explosive) or shoot (where he’s a slightly above average 3-point shooter) is wasting a generational player’s best trait. I agree ... besides if Pickett has any chance at the NBA it is at the PG position. I would be shocked if Carmen moved him off that spot after convincing him to stay a Saint. Both can co exist, neither need the ball 100% of the time. There’s multiple offenses from motion to set plays etc... this could work. Running a 3 guard backcourt of Pickett Woods and Carey would be near impossible to defend. That would even open things up more for Seymour and Burns.

I'd start 8 6-3+ PGs if I could. It's not a problem. It's a solution.

If you’re good enough a good coach will find time for you. Remember that, Mika!

Definitely true but at the same time this is Carm's chance to sell Siena as the Player's Program where they don't get caught up in defining a player's role and will put the best players out there together and let them make plays. I don't know if that can beat the sell job of another school offering him immediate minutes as a pure point guard but it is certainly worth a try. I wasnt even discussing Mika ... would love to have him and actually agree with kk that a 3 guard lineup with Pickett, Mika and Carey would something to see. I saw someone talk about moving Pickett off the point and was responding to that.

As noted above, I was more responding to someone who suggested moving Pickett off the point. Seymour and Burns would have a field day with those 3 guards on the court with them.

The PGs you have...the more you can attack and run efficiently. The more you can attack and run efficiently....the faster tempo you can play.
If you recruited 9 6-5 PGs and 3 centers, you'd probably be winning MAAC titles every year.

Surprised Carm has a prior commitment more important than seeing Mika? That might hurt us since UMass and UB are sending their HC's.
Assume Wyche will be our representative in Syracuse.

So...you guys are making a big assumption that the writer of the article perfectly knows the schedules and agendas of those visiting.

Singelais reported that it will be Wyche heading out to see MAW tomorrow. A bit surprised and displeased myself that Carm isn't making the trip

A bit surprised and displeased myself that Carm isn't making the trip I wouldn’t read too much into Carm’s unavailability on Thursday. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t spoken. They already know each other. Carm no doubt will follow up directly. TU article said Antoni is the contact when they meet. Antoni is supposed to be a very capable experienced recruiter. TU article also says that Woods already knows Carm pretty well and that they have a very good relationship. This just might be an opportunity to meet another coach from the program and a chance to form a bond. Remember Carm as an assistant did a lot of leg / ground work for JC. I’m not overly concerned with this arrangement.

I thought the Vietnam thing was a joke? So oneindian, you’re okay with our new HC going on a 3 week vacation with the live recruiting period just beginning?? Wow, how things have changed! 😂
