Guarding the two
If men's basketball coach Ben Howland's preseason idea works, Josh Shipp will start at off-guard position. After spending much of his career playing the wing, it would mean Shipp will be guarding a different type of player.
"I don't think it's really that much different,'' Shipp said. "You've got a guy in front of you, and your job is to stop him. It's not really that hard.''
But that off-guard may be a little faster, no?
"Then you have to get a little faster,'' Shipp said. "You've got to get on top of your game.It's just a man in front of you, and you have to take it personal and want to stop him."

To me this is one of hte biggest question marks for the season... I think Shipp is a good player, but at the 2?
He never seemed very quick and Im curious to see how he defends and creates against a quicker 2.
