I’d have to agree with FunFan. Though we will never know, and it’s just speculation from watching previous games, but McGuire, rather he is scoring, rebounding or not, makes a difference in any game. Guards won’t be driving down the middle as easily as they did with McGuire in the paint. He causes teams to tweak their offenses, take tougher shots and he is a good shot blocker, averaging 3 or 4 a game before he got injured. But, I do agree with Wildcat, that Wolfe plays better team ball. If Knott figures out how to share the ball and pass until you get the best shot, they will be much better. They have the talent, but gotta play team ball, not me ball..I watched a lot of games this past season. Hazard played the best team ball as any team I had seen in years. They deserved the championship. Maybe teams will look at how they played and learn some things. Wolfe has talent. Wilgus Tolsen is the best player on that team. Johnson can be just as good, but not as consistent as Tolsen. Ritchie got some great experience, and will become a great player, but McGuire will be able to take him in the post. If you saw the Martin Co. games, you would agree, McGuire outplayed James, a kid that signed DI, both times. So Knott has the edge in the post, Wolfe and Knott both have talented guards/shooters, but Wolfe has the edge when it comes to overall guard play. Will be interesting and entertaining for sure next season. Breathitt will be in the mix, got some young guns that play well. Man I miss basketball! Sports in general at this point! All y’all stay healthy out there!
