Ramar Smith played the 1, but he was not a point guard.

Jp prince played there for a stretch and at no point would I really call him a PG. Same could be said for Tyler smith.
Sometimes players have to play other positions out of necessity, it works both ways. Eric Bledsoe was a PG, but he played SG because he had to, that doesn't make him a SG though. Dane Bradshaw at times played the 5, at no point in his career is he actually considered a 5.

| The reason I said that in the first place, though, was to see how he stacked up against people with similar skill sets. I wouldn't compare a slashing 2-guard with a spot-shooting 2, either.

| Here's another question, do you think if CJ was a year younger that we'd have made the Final 4 in 07? I think if CJ was there playing the point instead of Ramar, we could have closed out the Ohio State game for sure, and we'd have still finished off Memphis.

| CJ came up big last night. He's not a very efficient scorer, so he should maybe shoot less. He's a good defender and decent distributor. |
