I disagree on the benchmark point (because there is nothing much going on right now
). Posts 309 to 312, when read sequencially, make a case that an ST-like point guard would be an acceptable choice today. That's pretty much establishing a benchmark for a backup player.
That's different than advocating in post 313 that ST would have been an acceptable alternative to Rob Lowery, which back then I would have heartily agreed with, and more so even today knowing his performace at IUPUI.
I hope and believe that Arch should not and will not spend a 4 year scholarship on that level of player today.
