Sean, what does it take to be a D1 guard? I think that’s been shifting over the last three three or four years. You got to be able to handle the ball under pressure. You got to be able to make open threes and then you have to be able to guard probably three different positions cuz a lot of these college programs now are switching a lot more, making shots, handling the ball under pressure, and really being able to guard. Maybe not even in that order. It might might be guard and then make shots and then handle the ball. Those are definitely the key.
