He's not playable at pg/sg with that kind of ath/spd. He can play sf/pf depending on matchup.
For those saying you would play him at pg or sg, please note this is D1, not D2.
Yes, it's D1, but it's also the Big Sky. Can't imagine the Big Sky is loaded with badass guards. Plus, given the rest of his roster, this guy might be his best option. Against good teams, yes, he'll probably be in big trouble. But against teams at the same level as him, he may be able to get away with playing him at SG. He's not Kobe Bryant, that's for sure, but he's probably serviceable.
Big Sky is sitting at 10 human coached teams. Having played in this conf for 9 seasons before going to the ACC, I am fairly certain this guy is at least 30 points behind in combined ath/spd against half of the other starting pg/sg in the big sky.
If there are that many human coached teams, then, yes, he may be in trouble trying to use him at either of the guard spots. Still, as a desperation last resort kind of thing, he still may be able to get a few minutes out of him without getting burned too bad. He says he's kind of desperate, why not give the guy a shot for a couple of games? I've seen worse players than him get legitimate playing time in D1. One thing for sure, I'll bet that none of the other guards he's matched up with will have a better rebounding rating!
