My Take
Strickland is the kind of player I find quietly compelling: an All-American out of DePaul who built a long professional career on craft and feel rather than overwhelming size. At 185 centimeters he had to be smarter than the giants around him, and that intelligence clearly survived the transition to coaching. What I respect most is the second act. Running the G League's professional path and now leading at Long Island University, he has chosen to pour his hard-won knowledge into the next generation. That instinct to teach, not just to have played, is the mark of someone who genuinely loves the game.
