DieHarder Intervention Needed

or whoever else is getting less minutes at the 2-4 because Hall is playing next to Egor. And again, I think Hall will play big minutes, but I don’t believe it is as simple as “NBA teams play two ball handlers”.

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?

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

another interesting twist on modern PG roles as the game evolves: Boston Celtics

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

So what you are saying is there is only one ball, not two.

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.

Teams are going to come harder at Egor to rough him up than they did at Hall

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

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…
