Pretty much this. However, I think us being forced to have Denver be the starting PG had an interesting side effect of making our perimeter defense even more insane than it usually is with Bruce. Our length with Denver, Kelly, and CBM is driving people insane. Since we've gone to that lineup and stopped playing Pegues we've pretty much shut down all the teams guards we've played. Who knows if that happens if we kept Tre or got a good transfer PG.

While I'm sure it's still going to be extremely tough games against them (and still expecting to most likely lose a close game away at Bama and then win at home), we are going to give Bama and Florida fits with our length.

Mind you, I still would have liked to have gotten a good PG that could distribute and shoot threes regardless.
