I believe KY is fine having 2 initiators on the floor together. But more

Importantly, he’ll want to have at least one of them on the floor at all times.

Based on what we’ve seen, neither Crawford nor Baker are ready to take on primary ball handling duties.

Having either Demin or Hall (or both) on the floor means far less risk of hitting an offensive lull.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room…

Keeping the offense of the second unit on track

For 7 minutes a game?

Lifer

That's a good problem to have, IMO

What you’re not factoring in is the options when you have two guys initiating

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

7:48am

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

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

We haven't seen hall? Agree to disagree

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

Lifer

Maybe! But it’s early to tell

chilawcoug

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good point

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.

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

Veep

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

Hinta

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

More passing and ball handling is good.

Parker Schnabel

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

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…

Kyrie Irving is a PG. Luka Doncic is a PG. Both can dribble, pass, etc. But who

Hall will start alongside Egor. He's absolutely one of our five best players.

Point guard is more than just bringing the ball up the court but I agree with
