did we ever have a real point guard? chris jackson was on another plane...stanley roberts was under the influence..shaq was constantly in needless foul trouble and there were an awful lot of great programs at their peak. unc, unlv, georgetown, syracuse, kentucky, arkansas, indiana, etc., real basketball schools with real point guards that made their foul shots at crunch time. Brown and Winters led those horses to water...but they couldn't make them drink (or think).

good point about a true point guard but jackson was no slouch, just wasn't big on assists.

day and mayberry ate our lunch during that time - not to mention the GT trifecta during the ncaa run.

now looking back, that period was dysfunctional but talented - certainly a waste.

roberts was more polished around the rim than shaq at that time - like someone said earlier, shaq was a work in progress.

Tex was long gone by that point and I do think Stro and others amended it later to ask how we never made a Sweet 16, which is really astonishing if one things about it.

T.J. Pugh wasn't a scorer but a more traditional pass first guard Shaq's last year who could handle the ball and play decenet defense.
