That is a good point, and it does suggest that QMB aggressively rolling to the basket on every pick play for Pippen should be what he does as Pippen is good at delivering and it also pressures the defense to have to make a choice between doubling pippen and defending the roller.

I'm not convinced that QMB couldn't develop a post game, his issue when he tries post moves on rare occasions is that he tends to rush things. This uncertainty with timing does often times come from not having been forced to try things in live game situations often enough to understand the true speed needed to execute a move.
Would be nice to have him back another year....take some pressure off Dort.

As was noted before, he has two additional years of eligibility after this season. I don't see him turning pro after this season so if he wanted to he could play two more seasons and that would be very beneficial. Put an additional 10 lbs of muscle on him and have him work on his post game and he could be a very good post option in a year or two, but he would have to be forced out of his comfort zone to take the next step.

It’s almost as if someone, maybe, coached him to do that, or something. ;)
