Foad, why do you think Stith can play at this level? Stith's numbers showed little last year - didn't score efficiently, didn't seem to be able to get a shot off, turned the ball over a bit, wasn't that crisp of a passer...
On the other hand, I also think that I'd love to see him with a staff that has some concept of how to train a point guard. Norm's PGs were fairly bad at being... point guards. Geno was a good defender, got a lot of steals, got to the free throw line a bit, and had a lot of heart - even had some nice passes - but the turnovers were terrible, he couldn't be relied on to get his shot in a pinch, and some of that has to go to his training.
As another poster notes, we're discussing Quincy Roberts, who I think has the makings of a nice player. He's long, he's athletic, he's aggressive, and he's a nice stroke. Not to mention that he's not a princess and coward like all the players who were too scared to play in Queens, like Sylvan L, Connie Hawkins, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. If only those players had only had the sac of say an Eric King, they might have amounted to something. Oh well.
As for Stith, I'm not expert enough - as are so many other sooper genyious posters - to dismiss a freshman out of hand after limited playing time on an awful team with an awful coach. Certainly that's the odds play. Most players don't make a difference, so if you say every players sucks you (royal) will be right more often than not. But you'll also pronounce that David Cain is "not a big east player." The upside is that when it turns out that you're wrong, it's four years later and you've trashed dozen other kids in the meanwhile in a torrent of speculation and rumor and absurd judgments, and no one cares or remembers. You can say dozens stupid things a day - like eg that Phil Waite should average a double double in the BE, as I recall some genyious pronouncing a couple years ago - and instead of being laughed off the internets as a world class maroon with a thalidomide baby's understanding of basketball - you simply move on and declaim that Lance Stephenson is a giant pvssy. And so on. Because it's all one man's opinion: there are no facts, numbers lie, and it's all double sourced by my secret mole who's never steered me wrong anyway. A 38 percent shooter is a great shooter, but a 37 percent shooter sucks. It must be true, because I just said it.
So I don't know whether Stith will contribute or not. For me, the jury is out. He has an adequate handle and vision, he's aggressive, he gets to the basket, he has an okay mid range game. OTOH, there are some obvious holes. In the good old days he wouldn't have seen the floor as a freshman. But these assuredly are not the good old days. He's not Tyreke Evans or John Wall, but few guards are, and those who aren't aren't playing at SJ for Norm Roberts, backing up Malik Boothe.
