If Beard can do a solid job at the point, we're going to be plain nasty.

I think you guys really over value the role of a "PG" in a motion offense and how Anderson uses his guards.

The roster should have the outside shooting threats in Bell, Babb, Beard, Madden, Qualls, and Durahm to keep teams out of a zone. That will allow Portis more movement to hit his spots against man and allow penetration possibilities from the guards.

There is no PG role in Anderson's philosophy, you have to have 2 guards who can handle the ball, at minimum, who will also play tough sound defense, and has some range to their shot. Look at the guard roster the past 3 years and find a guy who could do all of that and was also over 6'0" tall, that has been the problem.
