we have a number of guards that are around 6'4 or 6'5.
which ones are possibly capable of playing the three position (small forward) ?
it seemed Cain was used there during the nit and did a good job.

RJ Godfrey, while he is skill wise, an undersized 4, and does not have the best shooting touch, I imagine will platy a lot of minutes for us at the 3 this year. I think you might see Leffew log some, and I think you will see a mix of guards play the 3, the reason for this is because I see no reason why we should not run 3 guards at all times next year. Too many good quick guards not too.

Godfrey is likely the 1st option for now, as he is the most suited to the spot - though not much of a perimeter threat, which you need to be at that spot. Godfrey is a helluva defender and very active. If White thinks we need a shooter at the SF position, I think several of our SGs can defend the SF position, and I feel like we will play 3 guards A LOT. We did last year, and we only had 4 guards. We have 5 at present, though only 1 PG (barring the signing of another PG). I will say we are probably going to be so athletic on the frontcourt that we will be able to help out quite a bit. It may take a bit of time because we will be young in the frontcourt, and these guys are gonna have to learn how to play in the SEC. Our rotations will probably be a bit ragged at first.
