So will Roy be able to recruit a 5 star player ever again?
Will Meeks improve his vertical so we can slide a box of a dozen Dunkin Donuts under him?
Should Britt get more minutes than Berry?
Is a second assist better than a blown assist?

Yes. Roy will sign plenty of 5 star guys moving forward. But they'll be of the Tony Bradley and Jalek Felton variety - not of the OAD caliber. Personally, I'm ok with that. (And yes, I'm aware that Felton is currently a 4 star but he was a 5 star and he will be again before he graduates).
Meeks is obviously a below the rim player. And I'm ok with that too. His lack of athleticism doesn't trouble me. It's his lack of toughness and his inability/unwillingness to use his frame to its full potential. He doesn't need to go over defenders. He can't. But he can go
into and
through his defender.
I'm assuming you're just taking a dig at a particular poaster by asking if Britt should get more time than Berry because that notion is absurd. But Britt has value and I've been a defender of his since early on. I think his role changes this year in that he shouldn't really get many minutes at the 2 and I don't like him and Berry playing together much, but he's a great back up PG and I expect him to be a team leader this year. I like that he makes surprisingly quick moves to the basket and often catches defenses sleeping. He's also pretty clever when finishing and sneaky on the defensive end. He needs to tighten the handle and get the long ball going like he did his sophomore year and if he does that, I can't think of a better back up PG in the ACC.
I'm not familiar with the term "second assist". But if I'm guessing, I'd say you're talking about a hockey assist - a pass that leads to a pass that leads to a score. I acknowledge the heckle with the reference of the blown assist, but for as much fun as y'all have with that guy, I do think he knows the game pretty well and I agree with a lot that he says regarding the game itself. As far as that inside information stuff, I've never given much credibility to anyone that offers it and frankly, I don't really care. So to answer the question as you have posed it, I'll go with the hockey assist as it eventually leads to a score whereas the blown assist doesn't, despite how good of a play it might have been.
