"I think either can penetrate, draw defenders and pass off out of that. That is indeed part of Cronin's offense" From what I've seen, having the PG get a little penetration then pass to the perimeter is part of Cronin's offense, but having anyone drive, draw defenders, and feed a big on the block ..... I've not seen that while Cronin has been here. Maybe 3-4 times in his 5 years? When we played Nebraska, Fred Hoiberg's son - hardly an elite guard - drove and fed their N/S Dakota State transfer, who was facing up, for 3 easy baskets. That's as much as I've seen that happen during Cronin's time here.
Intuitively, I like to think continuity matters. Your points may be a good counter-argument to Dr. Bruin's Sweet 16 stats. Time will tell. As I said, I don't have my heart set on Dent. Just would like to see Cronin's tactics proven out, one way or another.
Good to hear we've got a full sack to go shopping with. Looks like Dedan Thomas has 2 years of eligibility left. If that's correct, I'd much prefer landing him than Dent.
