In response to mobrien
Freedman and Nelson are different players for sure. Freedman is a lot more pass first with a strong three-point shot. Nelson is certainly still a point guard, but a much more score-first type that's willing to get to the rim. Nelson's game feels a lot like Christian Juzang's, though there is definitely belief that he has the mentality of Siyani, which is something that this program has lacked since transitioning from Lin to Curry to Siyani.
If you think about the motion offense, you need the constant pressure to break the defense down and get good looks, so Nelson's game is a much better fit than Freedman's, which would seem better served for a "play-based" offense.
Wojcik seems a bit in between, though I don't know that much at this point. I've seen him mix it up inside a little more like Nelson would and throw some pinpoint passes like Freedman would.
To some extent, the key for all three will be how they can defend the position. Losing an amazing perimeter defender and a couple of strong rim protectors will likely put more emphasis on filling defensive gaps than optimizing the offense.
