I would like to hear your thoughts. The pundits and I are saying the hawks need and have needed a great pg. Let me know what great pg over the last 8 years you would like to put on some of Fran's past teams and tell us how you think that team finishes the regular season and post season. Gesell could penetrate but not finish at the rim at a high enough percentage to really distort the opponent defense.
I know Fran had the two teams where they were in the top 10 or top 5 but then crashed and burned in February and March.
The team where Marble was the pg and dribbled around too much I think could have been a sweet 16 or final 8 type team.
I think these teams make deep pushes for regular season Big titles and Big Tourney titles rather than the first round exits. The teams with Marble, White, Woody, etc being lead by a top flight pg instead of guys maybe playing out of position would have flourished. I think Fran's teams go into these scoring funks and droughts because they do not have someone who at will can set up a dunk or easy drive.
