I think what Egor brings will be even more valuable against top competition.

The one thing that is still a question mark is his shooting. Obviously he was good last night but not going to shoot that well every night. If he can shoot 40% from distance he will be a top five pick.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room…

Lifer

Keeping the offense of the second unit on track

Beggar

For 7 minutes a game?

Lifer

7:53am

That's a good problem to have, IMO

The days of playing 1 PG at a time is in the past…

I’m a hack.

Lifer

Ya I was thinking the exact same thing. Good question.

A good coach should be able to find a way to make those 2 useful together.

Agreed

I think the elephant in the room is how few layups this offense generated

macdizzle

7:48am

Not when the other team is playing zone and you have shooters and dunkers

RyneK

7:57am

Yeah, they picked at the top and the zone collapsed on Demin which made for

He’s too good to not be your starter

I agree he is a very good player. Before last night

We played against Cent Ark, one of the worst teams in the country. I get the

Hall's not a projected NBA player, Demin is a likely lottery pick. I am sure the

Do we know who the coach’s think?

I don't know the coaches personally to ask them, but none of our coaches were

But we haven’t seen Hall! And before his injury, they were talking how important

We haven't seen hall? Agree to disagree

Lifer

8:03am

Maybe! But it’s early to tell

chilawcoug

8:07am

For example. We haven’t seen Demin play against a Texas Tech press.

chilawcoug

8:10am

Demin was playing with Real Madrid's B Team the last three years. That's a cut

coventry94

8:41am

A team that plays in the 4th tier of Spanish amateur basketball? A cut above?

chilawcoug

8:48am

@ledfoot, love to hear why this deserves an eye roll. Love to hear why

chilawcoug

9:23am

I think Real Madrid's B team is a cut below the NCAA, not above. Real Madrid's

Talent wise maybe. But a 220 lb wing can push Egor more than a skinny teenager

puntersarepeople

10:00am

Egor is long with a high dribble...Hall needed vs speedy defenders

Hall and Egor will be on the floor a lot together. “Running” the team will be a

Kevin Young has already said this and said to stop worrying about positions

chilawcoug

8:01am

Hall remains the floor leader. Demin remains primary ball handler in backcourt. Or something like that. Remember Khalifa

roseyscenario

Good point

KYU

8:12am

Well for starters that second unit run by Crawford and Baker looked awful on O.

Mitty

Hall is a good enough player to play well with other good players. Not worried.

Boring

I think Dallin will have a calming effect in big games. He and fous are still

Veep

9:07am

If Hall had been available, he would have taken Knell's place in the lineup

Hinta

9:26am

Think of Khalifa’s role last year. I think we can pull off having them both on the court.

yapacoug

More passing and ball handling is good.

Parker Schnabel

10:22am

He'll start with Egor at the two. They can take turns playing the point which helps Dallin not have to play 30+ minutes

TheLoneCougar

He and Egor will be fine playing with each other.Hall brings experience & tough

That's the coaches' job to determine. We can just sit back and enjoy.

We’ll run dual PG’s as much as possible. That’s where the game is at now…
