I think the needs are in ball-handling, scoring, and big men. A couple of those roles overlap. Last year, Perry/Huntsberry did both ball handling and scoring and stretching the floor. Martinez played the big man spot and was also a threat to shoot.
By our definition, the scorer role is someone that can create for themselves. Can we give them the ball or run a set for them and let them get a bucket?
Ross Hodge will want some versatility – offense and defense and someone that fits the program – but definitely someone that can come in here and get buckets. I believe Rubin Jones can get 15/game if he wants, but he will need help. He can’t be the primary defender, ball-handler, and scorer. Just like Kai Huntsberry did a lot of scoring – averaged like 12 per game in the NIT – ball handling and defending, you need some options.
