The takeaway from our team last year was that we played almost as well if not better without Teddy Allen, a talented offensive player. We have a core of guys that seem to work together; It seems prudent to consider whether or not a talented player like Pinson is going to be a fit because we want to move forward, not sideways.

This. It’s not always addition by addition. 
I don’t think Shamiel Stevenson is a good fit for us, but I do think he could be a contributor on a lot of high major teams. I actually think he’d be a good fit at Ohio State. But I don’t think he’d work out with Chris Collins at Northwestern. 

 

Pinson is absolutely a high level player. It’s about putting the puzzle pieces together.

To expand upon Teddy, here are some efficiency numbers vs top 100 teams last year

......................................

Circling around back on topic: Is Pinson a guy who can exist with  McGowens et al.?

Despite shooting a ton last year he was a PG who passed the ball in an offense not necessary geared to pass the ball off.  I'm really hopeful on him being a good fit.

In the comparison with Teddy Allen,  if we do get Xavier Pinson I'm hoping the difference is Teddy was not a Point Guard, or expected to play like one (that is initiating the offensive sets) while Pinson is, and will be expected to act like one.

I feel like we're the type of school that a player like this doesn't have us in his top 4 unless we're like right there. 

Like, if someone asks you what your favorite colors are, and you say red, blue, yellow, and Vinaceous, meaning wine-colored, but not all wine, just the reds, you probably really like that color.
