Which would you prefer if you needed a bench SG who wouldn't see more than 3-5mins/game playing time during the 1st yr? Lets assume both players already play your Off and Def schemes.

+ = Pos Potential
- = Neg Potential

I'd say that's pretty much a wash. The BH/P differences come out about even, so maybe it would depend on which offense you use as to whether you needed a better ball handler or passer. I'd maybe give the slight edge to Goings for his athleticism.

IQ might be a deciding factor, too.

Thanks Axeme.

I posted this thread because Newlon was my actually target (spent $5,479 ) while Goings was my backup option (spent $751). I hadn't recruited Goings since the 3rd cycle but he signed anyway because I forgot to remove the scholly. HA, what a newbie mistake for an experienced coach .

I liked Newlon slightly better because of the his better PE+, WE, and ST+ ratings in addition to he already ran my OFF and DEF schemes while Goings doesn't have either (this is the biggest reason).

Since I run the press / fastbreak combo, Goings better Ath+, BH+ should evolve ino almost the same type of player as Newlon. I will just have to wait a tad longer due to his IQs. No biggie since he'll be a bench player for 1-2 seasons.

Yeah, 1-2 seasons from now I'd probably like Newlon better, too. Slight edge to Goings for some freshman minutes, but Newlon will probably be a bit better later.

No big difference at any rate.
