Not sure that many would say that TSJ and Domask aren’t “play making guards”
Rodgers is a small ball 4 unless he is masquerading as a tall, pass first second and third unless he’s within 5 feet of the basket PG
Underwood has done a pretty good job this year.
At end of games the teams that make plays with high level playmakers use a high ball screen and force the defense to make decisions and concessions and can usually manufacture points.
Everybody in gym knows what is going to happen but it is so hard to stop.
TSj has shown a little of that at times, but plays off the ball usually and just makes plays for himself if we can get him going downhill, or he takes the three if they layoff.
Domask needs a lot of time to back his guy down to develop a play to shoot or dish and teams are digging and helping more on that.
Both are really effective and often elite without question, but cannot control an endgame like a traditional lead guard.
The NU game was good example of that where we got a bad shot and no foul call out of it by Domask at end of regulation.
I am nitpicking but in the tourney it is guard play execution that wins. There is so little difference between teams ranked 4 through 28 this year.
I think only Purdue, Houston, and UConn are sort of separating themselves.
That said- it is great we are looking at a team that looks like they can make the second weekend and have a shot at a deeper run.
