The Red Storm have a stable of fast guards at their disposal
As the game of basketball evolves, players, coaches, analysts and spectators have noticed that players seem to be more and more athletic each year.
Big men are expected to be quicker and more agile, and better shooters. Wings are supposed to be able to shoot, run the floor and guard multiple positions.
Particularly with guards, however, there has been a sharp rise in speed, ball-handling skills and shooting ability of players who run the offense.
As those high school players take the next step into the college game, they’re showcasing a new level of athleticism at the one and two positions in college hoops.
