And/or small men who can dribble penetrate and create their own short- to 
mid-range shots. 

I think the lack of guys who can beat their man off the dribble limited us as 
much as anything this year, and led to many of those stretches where all the 
Cats could do is pass it around the perimeter and jack up a desperation 3. 

Anyone see what the VCU point guard did to Purdue? Yikes. Juice could beat 
people off the dribble, but his size really worked against him there (see all 
the shots he got blocked last night). 

I think Cobb has that potential to be that kind of offensive threat. Crawford is 
sort of there--his hops allow him to rise up for shots. If he can be more 
consistent and aggressive with that, and add some more driving to the hoop, it 
will help a lot.
