At what level of basketball would you EVER need 3 point guards on a 12 man roster, especially when your issue is defense?
“The selection was harder than I expected. The young man we decided not to keep, Javon McCrae, it was really just a numbers situation, he played more than well enough to make the team. We just didn’t feel comfortable going over there without three point guards,” Hewitt stated.
It's very rare for a team not to have three point guards on a roster. You've got to have a backup, and when you're talking about a situation for multiple games, you never know when an injury or something can take one out of the picture. It's easy to believe a third point guard never will play, but David McKinley has received his share of important minutes over the last couple of years.
As for McCrea, the guy made a huge impact as a freshman. I expect him to be a first-team All-MAC player this year now that he'll probably be Buffalo's go-to guy offensively.
