A good 3 guard set will win us A LOT of games. It likely won't win us an ACC championship or anything, I guess that depends on how good they are, but we're trying to crawl out of the cellar, not compete for a title tomorrow. Will 3 guard sets eventually lead to bad match ups? Of course. Will they be streaky on offense? Most likely. But if we can lock down 3 solid guards, we will win a lot more games than we have been --> which will get us more exposure --> which will get us more versatile recruits. At this point, I feel like we have to do whatever it takes to get more W's, even if it means sacrificing a few potentially bad match ups.
Also, I'm sure Manning knows that talented guards are a big man's best friend. See Eric Williams. Last year we could barely get the ball close enough for an entry, let alone draw defenders and dish. When you look back at what seems like a century ago to the Teague, Aminu, Johnson days, it wasn't lights out shooting or inherently dominant low post play, it was the ability for everyone on the court to draw defenders and either hit a floater or dish to an open man. I, for one, welcome our new guard overlords.
