Yeah, exactly. This is "what do we do if Mayo can't play point".

I think some of what you said went completely unnoticed last year, in particular with KJ playing some point when Harris was out, McCullar was hurt, and Elmarko was completely untrustable.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 12:23 pm Is Griffen a good ball handler?
Who gets the PG minutes when DH is out: Zeke or ShakMo (still not liking it)?
Late last year, when Elmarko was messing up and DH was out (and KM was hurt), we had Kj initiating offense and bringing the ball up. We really need Zeke or ShakMo to be able to competently bring the ball up against pressure and initiate offense for 6-8mim per game.
I do like the idea of letting Kj initiate occasionally at times (especially when DH is out), similar to how we used JW at times, because it takes the pressure off of his shooting and he excels at passing/driving.
I've also been seeing some videos of HD looking quicker and stronger. A clear emphasis for him must be the pump fake on jump shots and driving to the hoop. That should improve his effectiveness in the p&r with DH and with the big to big action we run with he and Kj. Self should be watching tape of how well Rudy and KAT work together in their big to big action and try to replicate some of that.
That's what I've gathered as well.randylahey wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 1:12 pmHe's a nice addition to our team. Tons of experience. He's a shifty point with a decent outside jumper.
Most importantly he guards. He locks in defensively and is kind of a "pest"
Self gives guys a chance if they guard.
It's not a coincidence he committed immediately after elmarkos role became vacant
