He's as good as or better at handling pressure than everyone on our team not named DSR, so why not? Re: White Not as a ball handler. Maybe passing out of pressure. Yes as a ball handler. He knows exactly where the weaknesses are and knows when to prove them and go full speed (like Chris)

I think the role could be distributed, with Peak doing some of the "bringing the ball up" while White functions as a point-forward from the high post. I love that Peak, White, Copeland, Jabril, Tre, DSR and Bowen can all push the ball on break situations. The D can't just key on one guy bringing it upcourt quickly. I'm looking forward more to next year. Trawick and Bowen are gone. Agreed.

He knows exactly where the weaknesses are and knows when to prove them and go full speed (like Chris) White does not have the handle that Jabril or even Tre has. He just does not yet. Maybe with enough work, and with his size he becomes a huge weapon against the press.

There is video evidence from this year of him doing the sort of stuff I desbribed as good adms or better than those two.

I agree. Next year could and should define success and recruiting for some time to come. Peak is a big part of that.

I think his handles are fine. He just needs to work on his outside shot and his free throws.

There is video evidence from this year of him doing the sort of stuff I desbribed as good adms or better than those two. There is also video evidence of him having problems, and losing the ball trying to dribble through traffic. Bril and Tre have problems also, but I think they are stronger with the ball right now.
