People were calling for Newton to start over ARod by the end of his freshman year. Short memories around here.

Newton needs to develop a jump shot. Can't drive right every time, throw up a floater and be successful. I'm also not sure he has the vision and court awareness to be an effective PG at this level.
 
Newton definitely needs a lot of gym time and reps on the court (i.e. Shooting practice) but he hasn't shown the ability to lead an offense. This is most concerning that he is the expected starting PG and he hasn't shown the ability to do it. I like Newton as a scorer but not so much as a distributor of the basketball. I really hope we can play him more as a #2 as opposed to a #1 .
