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

…Dallin will help take pressure off of Demin (and visa versa) and then also double up with Crawford etc when he’s in the game. The days of basketball where it’s one PG, one SG, one SF, one PF, etc is over.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room…

Keeping the offense of the second unit on track

Beggar

7:47am

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 get "positionless" basketball, but every possession that DH initiates is one

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

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

Last time I checked the scoreboard doesn't care how the points are scored... a better stat to worry about is

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

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

In the context of this conversation. The poster was saying coach's haven't seen

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

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.

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

If he shoots 40% from distance he's #1 overall and nobody remembers who Flagg is

Socrates Johnson

Crazy how true this statement is. The difference a few ppts make!!

Lifer

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

8:06am

Good point

KYU

8:12am

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

Mitty

8:22am

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

Boring

8:46am

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

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.
