Great story. Nice to have data backing up what we are trying to make sense of on the court. I see things coming together, hopefully there's enough there by now not to lose the should wins and try to steal one of the others

Interesting. I agree with the general premise that Haws is a more talented PG. I think Coach Rose uses LJ as a brake against Haws' wild tendencies. But Beo would just as good at that. Too bad we couldn't get a 6'5" guard to transfer.

We really, really could use Jordan Chatman and/or a healthy Bryant.

If you look at our roster we have guards and bigs. The only wings are Guinn and Leifson who aren't good enough to play a consistent role this year. Bryant has enough size to guard wings but he hasn't been healthy all year.

Looking forward this is going to be a concern next year as well.

If Nixon didn't get too fat, he might be able to help on the wing.

Haws/Beo/Frampton*
Emery/Popoola
Bryant/Nixon/Guinn
Childs/Shaw/Andrus
Mika/Aytes/Dastrup/Kaufusi*

It appears Leifson will be going on a mission.

With the scorers we have on this team I have no problem with Rose playing point. I think he does a fine job. Has a good TO-Ast ratio and rebounds the ball well.
