Buzz’s thing has always been he wants a couple pg's, a couple 5's and then guys who are threats to pass, dribble and shoot. I have to say that I agree with this philosophy and I think many of us do as well. I believe one of the main reasons our team has struggled this year is because many of our starters and guys who play significant minutes are one dimensional and do not fulfill the "ideal" mold of a Buzz Williams player.

Zach mentioned on the show in responding to my comment that he believed guys like DW, Jake, Chris and Juan are Buzz type of guys from an effort standpoint and that Marquette is back in the position they are (bubble - ish) because of those type of guys not laying down. While I wholeheartedly agree that these players represent the Buzz type of player from an effort standpoint (as each of them is playing to their potential, giving max effort, etc), I think he was sidestepping my point that simply put we do not have enough contributing players that possess the ideal triple threat that Buzz desires and that is why we are in the position that we are in (likely headed to the NIT). I have to imagine Buzz feels the same and in an ideal world would be building the program with players who possess the heart/effort of the aformentioned players while possessing more versatility from a triple threat standpoint.
