last season. They'll be desperate to slow him down. He may even face some double teams, or probably not but at least some zone traps. He'll be nicked up at times. We'll be so happy to have an experienced guy that can relieve some of that pressure.

You can play two PGs at the same time, but they can’t both actually “play PG”

I agree that they will be on the court together a lot, but most posessions

I agree with Egor being the better of the two. Can't teach height!

The beautiful thing is we can have 1 of the 2 on the court at all times. Loved

I think of Conley and Edward's at Minnesota. Edward's handles the ball and most

Giddey’s inability to shoot the three is the reason he needs the ball to be

And Hall can shoot the three. So, problem solved?

Hopefully. He just needs to be more effective in that role than Knell, Baker,

IMO, he’s competing for minutes with Bosko as well. I probably lean toward Bosko

Demin handles the ball 70% of the time for 28 min. Hall for 90% of the time for

You can mix it up with who runs the offensive set, which can be good if you

Why would you though? Demin’s playmaking is elite. Why would you take the ball out of his hands if you can help it?

Egor played off ball when Eli played the point during central Arkansas game.

Also have to factor in if the team is better w/ Hall at the 1 and Egor at the 2

And only 1 person can be the ball handlers for the whole shot clock.

Also, remember how beat up Hall was? Big12 defense is unrelenting.

True, but I hope every team tries to double Egor.

the beauty of it is that if teams run defensive actions to force the ball...

I thought Crawford might Redshirt, but that is gone. Knell will start over Hall

Whoa now...Crawford nowhere near the player that Hall is at this point.

If only Hall had experience with BYU running the offense through another player…
