Hopefully. I got really sick of people dogging him all the time. Estrada isn't an explosive athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but he's quick and he's pretty relentless when it comes to getting the ball into the paint. Anyone who has paid attention the last 5 years knows that our offense needs to be able to consistently get the ball into the paint to be at its best. Limiting our paint touches means you limit our ability to score in all the ways we like the most, i.e. kick out 3s, dunks, layups, and FTs.
Estrada was also really good rebounding out of the guard spot. I enjoyed his offensive bag, too, which you typically don't see out of dudes his age. Those little teardrops, lane pivot moves, bank fadeaways, etc. are things you usually only see out of that overweight 40-year-old dad playing pickup at the YMCA who somehow nobody can stop.

Estrada was a straight up dawg. He hustled his arse off, and left it all on the floor. He had his erratic moments, but never half assed it. Sure, it would've been nice if his 3fg% was closer to his Hofstra numbers. But I've got nothing but love for him, and feel he caught way more flack he deserved. And I'm not talking during a game thread, where even the most rational fan temporarily turns into a lunatic.
