Most of these guys could play with Flagg. The exceptions that I think might be somewhat redundant with Flagg are Steinbach and Peat. But really that's a nice selection of players and several decent shooters.
Of the PG's, all three of them have a certain specific quality. Brown's perimeter shooting is suspect, but most analysts think it has to do with shot-selection rather than shooting mechanics (His FT% is very good)
Acuff has been compared to Stephon Marbury and every time I see him that looks about right. Lots of buckets, lots assists, but 6'3".
Philon went back to college after testing the draft last year and improved his perimeter shooting. Needs some muscle.
Wagler is the surpise as a playmaking SG. His freshman year has been spectacular. You worry he might cool off when he gets to the NBA
Lendborg is one of those guys that does everything. He looks like a NFL player - like a bigger Dort. Good shooter and is constantly moving. Very active.
Mullins is the best perimeter shooter of the bunch. I hope UConn goes deep in the playoffs as he would be fun to watch.
Quaintance may very well be the next Dwight Howard, but he's had a few injuries so he's a bit unknown in regards to competiton. Almost every says he's a defensive monster.
