Sledge moved to shooting guard

Of course, whether he plays 1 or 2 in high school isn't going to change this.

I'm still a little skeptical of his ability to defend Big 12 guards, and if he can't stop people, he's going to have a hard time getting playing time.

Guess his defense would fit right in with this team, were giving up 80plus a game now. Can't stop anyone.

If Keiton Page can defend Big 12 guards I have absolutely no concern with Sledge doing the same. Sledge makes up for his height with his athleticism. So I think he will be fine. Missouri has guards that aren't much bigger with Dixon, Denmon and Phil Pressey.
